          Appeal No. 97-1810                                        Page 16           
          Application No. 08/321,262                                                  


               We have reviewed the applied prior art but find nothing                
          therein which would have suggested the subject matter of claim              
          27 for the same reasons as pointed out above with respect to                
          claim 24.  Since all the limitations of claim 27 are not                    
          suggested or taught by the applied prior art, the decision of               
          the examiner to reject claim 27 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is                    
          reversed.                                                                   


                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject                   
          claims 21 through 30 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed with                 
          respect to claims 21 through 23, 25, 26 and 28 through 30 but               
          is reversed with respect to claims 24 and 27.
