          Appeal No. 95-3387                                                          
          Application No. 08/005,942                                                  


          1-11 and 13 or (6) Claims 1-10 or (7) Claims 1-9 of copending               




          applications (1) 07/936,558; (2) 07/963,332; (3) 07/775,774;                
          (4) 07/960,983; (5) 07/936,531; (6) 07/936,434; and (7)                     
          07/959,948; respectively.                                                   
               With respect to application Serial Number 07/960,983 this              
          rejection is now moot in that this application has been                     
          abandoned.  With respect to application Serial Number                       
          07/775,774 and application Serial Number 07/936,434 this                    
          rejection is no longer provisional in that these applications               
          have issued as U.S. Patent # 5,430,018 and U.S. Patent #                    
          5,348,940, respectively.                                                    
               The Appeal Brief acknowledges this rejection on page 4,                
          however no argument is presented with respect to the merits of              
          this rejection.  In that no arguments have been presented by                
          appellants as to why the examiner's rejection is erroneous, we              
          summarily affirm this rejection.                                            
               In the Appeal Brief on page 4, appellants "requested that              
          the Examiner hold any rejection on these grounds in abeyance                
          until there is an indication of allowable subject matter."                  
                                          7
