          Appeal No. 95-2976                                                          
          Application No. 08/041,077                                                  

               Moreover, since anticipation is the epitome of                         
          obviousness (In re Fracalossi, 681 F.2d 792, 794, 215 USPQ                  
          569, 571 (CCPA 1982)), we will also sustain the examiner's                  
          section 103 rejection of claims 4 through 20 as being                       
          unpatentable over Renner or Renner in view of European '196 or              
          Renner in view of Carlson and Bahadir and Shiokawa.                         
               The decision of the examiner is affirmed.
