          Appeal No. 95-0900                                                          
          Application 07/947,117                                                      


          11 cure the deficiencies noted above in the Hannen, Matuda and              
          Kistner references.                                                         
               For the foregoing reasons, we conclude that the subject                
          matter of claims 6, 7, 10 and 12 would not have been prima facie            
          obvious based on the teachings of Hannen, Matuda and Kistner.               
          Similarly, we conclude that the subject matter of claim 9 and               
          claims 8 and 11 would not have been prima facie obvious based on            
          the teachings of Hannen, Matuda, Kistner and Trouteaud or                   
          Uchimura and Heitmann, respectively.  Accordingly, the examiner’s           
          rejection of these claims is reversed.
