Reference is made to the examiner's answer (Paper
No. 11, mailed March 11, 1997) for the examiner's reasoning in

OPINION
Our evaluation of the obviousness issues raised in this
appeal has included a careful assessment of appellant's
specification and claims, the applied prior art references, and
the respective positions advanced by appellant and the examiner.
As a consequence of our review, we find that we are unable to
sustain any of the examiner's rejections of the appealed claims.
Our reasoning follows.
