Appeal No. 97-1019 Application 08/063,463 § 103 as being unpatentable over Stephens in view of Weissenbach and Propst. Turning to the rejection of claims 27-31 and 58-68 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Stephens in view of Weissenbach, Propst and either Augis or Jorgensen, we have carefully reviewed the references to Augis and Jorgensen but find nothing therein which would overcome the deficiencies we have noted above with respect to Stephens, Weissenbach and Propst. This being the case, we will not sustain the rejection of claims 27-31 and 58-68 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 based on these references. The examiner’s rejections of the appealed claims are reversed.
