          Appeal No. 95-0730                                                          
          Application 08/068,575                                                      


          applied in the rejection of claims 1 and 19.                                
               Accordingly, we cannot agree that the combined teachings of            
          the applied references suggest the subject matter recited in                
          independent claims 1 and 19 and, hence, the subject matter                  
          embraced by the appealed dependent claims, to warrant a                     
          conclusion of obviousness under the test set forth in In re                 
          Keller, 642 F.2d                                                            



          413, 425, 208 USPQ 871, 881 (CCPA 1981). We therefore must                  
          reverse the § 103 rejections of claims 1 through 7, 9 through 12,           
          16, 17, 19 through 24, 47 through 49, 51 and 53.                            
               The examiner’s decision rejecting the appealed claims is               
          reversed.                                                                   
                                      REVERSED
