          Appeal No. 94-3790                                                          
          Application 08/032,758                                                      


                           ON REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION                             
                    Appellant requests that we reconsider our decision                
          of June 16, 1997, wherein we affirmed the examiner’s decision               
          rejecting claims 21 to 25 and 27 to 30 under 35 U.S.C. § 102.               
               At the outset, we address the two declarations attached                
          to the request for reconsideration.  Both declarations are                  
          identical from two different individuals and essentially set                
          forth that which has been argued by appellant in the request                
          for reconsideration.  Moreover, the basic argument presented                
          in each of these three documents is apparently the same as                  
          basically presented in the principal brief and reply brief                  
          filed before our original opinion.  Even though there does not              
          appear to be any substantive showing of good and sufficient                 
          reasons why these declarations were not earlier presented                   
          within the requirements of 37 CFR § 1.195, we have still                    
          considered them because of this consistency.  Appellant’s                   
          arguments in the request for reconsideration as well as those               
          more particular arguments set forth in both declarations                    
          reflect an understanding of Lofgren which is consistent with                
          our understanding when we rendered our original opinion.                    


                                          2
