                 as being anticipated by Bertrand.                                                                                                      
                          Rather than repeat the arguments of Appellants or the                                                                         
                 Examiner, we make reference to the briefs and the answers for                                                                          
                 the                                                                                                                                    








                 details thereof.  We note that the claims that are before us                                                                           
                 are                                                                                                                                    
                 found in the appendix  provided in the supplemental reply2                                                                                                

                 brief,                                                                                                                                 
                 filed January 13, 1998.                                                                                                                
                                                                     OPINION                                                                            

                          After a careful review of the evidence before us, we do                                                                       
                 not agree with the Examiner that the claims are anticipated                                                                            
                 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 by Bertrand.                                                                                                     

                          2In this supplemental reply brief, Appellants provide the appealed                                                            
                 claims in an attached appendix.  The Examiner stated in a letter, mailed                                                               
                 January 30, 1998, that the supplemental reply brief has been entered and                                                               
                 considered but no further response by the Examiner is deemed necessary.  We                                                            
                 note that the Examiner's communication did not object to these claims.  We                                                             
                 will take the Examiner's silence as the Examiner's acceptance that these                                                               
                 claims are the proper claims for our consideration for this appeal.                                                                    
                                                                           3
