          Appeal No. 95-5074                                                           
          Application No. 08/186,900                                                   


          we agree with appellants that claim 5 is not properly rejected               
          under 35 U.S.C. § 102.                                                       
               Regarding the rejections of claims 3, 4 (dependent on                   
          claim 2) and 6-9 (dependent on claim 5) under 35 U.S.C. § 103,               
          since Cheh does not remedy the aforementioned deficiency of                  
          Burow with respect to claim 2, or alleviate the deficiency of                
          U.K. '897 with respect to claim 5 (the examiner does not                     
          assert such), and the examiner does not take the position that               
          Burow would have rendered obvious the provision of a variable,               
          decreasing temperature profile, we cannot sustain these                      
          rejections.                                                                  
               In conclusion, based on the foregoing, the examiner's                   
          decision rejecting the appealed claims is reversed.                          
                                       REVERSED
