Appeal No. 98-1204
Application No. 08/609,551
We have carefully considered all of the arguments raised
by the appellants but, as to the Section 102 rejection of
claims 1, 4, 6 and 7, and the Section 103 rejection of claim
2, they have not convinced us that the decision of the
examiner was in error. Our position with regard to them
should be apparent from the explanations we have provided.
