               The following references are relied on by the examiner:                
          Pommier et al. (Pommier)           4,881,241           Nov. 14,             
          1989                                                                        
          Kotzin et al. (Kotzin)        5,301,188           Apr.  5, 1994             
                              (effective filing date Feb. 27, 1990)                   
          Noreen et al. (Noreen)        5,303,393           Apr. 12, 1994             
                                        (filing date Apr. 12, 1991)                   

               Claims 1 to 3, 5, 6, 8, 19 to 21, 23, 24 and 26 stand                  
          rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as being anticipated by                   
          Noreen.  The remaining claims are rejected under 35 U.S.C. §                
          103.  As evidence of obviousness, the examiner relies on                    
          Noreen alone as to claims 9, 10 to 13 and 15 to 18, with the                
          addition of Pommier as to claims 4, 14 and 22.  The examiner                
          also considers Noreen in view of Kotzin as evidence of                      
          obviousness of claims 7, 17 and 25.
