Appeal No. 94-2097 Application 07/875,630 CONCLUSION In conclusion, the provisional rejection of all the appealed claims under the judicially created doctrine of obviousness-type double patenting over the claims of application Serial No. 08/009,353, is moot. We affirm the rejection of all the appealed claims under the judicially created doctrine of obviousness-type double patenting over the claims of U.S. Patent No. 5,019,382. However, we reverse the rejection of all the appealed claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable over Hasegawa or Tompkins. We also recommend that the examiner evaluate the patentability of claims 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 21 and 22 in light of PCT publication WO 82/00588 as prior art. The examiner's decision is affirmed. No time period for taking any subsequent action in connec-tion with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a). AFFIRMED SHERMAN D.
