THE REJECTIONS
The following rejections stand under 35 U.S.C. § 103:
(1) Claims 6, 8 and 20 on the basis of Groenewald and De
Fries.
(2) Claim 7 on the basis of Groenewald, De Fries and
Lerman.
(3) Claim 9 on the basis of Groenewald, De Fries and
Spann.
(4) Claims 21-24 on the basis of Spann and Groenewald.
2We note that the dependency of claim 6 is recited as
being from claim 5, which has been canceled. It would appear
that claim 6 should depend from claim 20. Also, as pointed
out by the examiner, claim 27 was not reproduced in the
appendix to the Brief.
