          Appeal No. 97-3196                                                          
          Application No. 08/569,275                                                  


          facie case of obviousness with regard to the subject matter of              
          independent claim 21.  This being the case, we will not                     
          sustain the rejection of claim 21 or of claims 22-24 and 26,                
          which depend therefrom.                                                     
               Adding Adams to the other two references in the rejection              
          of claim 25 fails to cure the problems present in the basic                 
          rejection.  The rejection of claim 25 also is not sustained.                


                                       SUMMARY                                        
               The rejection of claim 32 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first                 
          paragraph, is sustained.                                                    
               The rejection of claim 28 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second                
          paragraph, is sustained.                                                    
               None of the other rejections are sustained.                            
               The decision of the examiner is affirmed-in-part.
