          Appeal No. 96-1499                                                          
          Application 08/133,013                                                      


          decision and supra, we held these claims to stand or fall with              
          independent claim 9 due to a lack of any separate arguments as              
          to the merits of any one claim.                                             

               While appellants are free to make such an argument                     
          distin-guishing claims 1 and 3-5 over the disclosure of Steel               
          in any future prosecution, as by way, for example, of a                     
          continuation                                                                




          application, we have not found any such specific argument made              
          in the briefs and we find no error in our decision.                         

               The request for reconsideration is granted to the extent               
          that we have reconsidered our decision but it is denied with                
          respect to making any changes therein.                                      


                                       DENIED

                                          5
