                 Appeal No. 1994-3610                                                                                                               
                 Application 07/805,474                                                                                                             



                 contain specific references to significant functional features similar to those found in independent claim                         

                 41.  As a result, the rejections of these independent claims are also reversed.  Furthermore, claim                                

                 groupings 2-6 only contain claims dependent on the independent claims included in claim grouping 1.                                

                 As a result, these rejections are likewise reversed.  Thus, further analyses of these claim groupings are                          

                 not deemed necessary.                                                                                                              

                          In summation, we reverse the final rejection of claims 1-23, 26-31, 33-34 and 37-43.
