          Application 08/329,219                                                      



                    Claim 6 stands additionally rejected under 35 U.S.C.              
          § 112, first paragraph, as containing subject matter which was              
          not described in the specification in such a way as to enable one           
          skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and/or use the              
          invention.                                                                  


                    Reference is made to the examiner's answer (Paper                 
          No. 7, mailed August 30, 1996) for the examiner's full reasoning            
          in support of the above-noted rejections and to appellant's brief           
          (Paper No. 6, filed July 17, 1996) for appellant's arguments                
          thereagainst.                                                               


          OPINION                                                                     
                    Our evaluation of the issues raised in this appeal has            
          included a careful assessment of appellant's specification and              
          claims, the applied prior art references and the respective                 
          positions advanced by appellant and the examiner.  As a                     
          consequence of our review, we have come to the conclusion, for              
          the reasons which follow, that the examiner's rejection of the              
          appealed claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103 will not be sustained.                
          In addition, we will also not sustain the examiner's rejection              
          of claim 6 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph.                          
                                          4
