                Appeal No. 95-0083                                                                                                         
                Application 07/711,556                                                                                                     


                U.S.C. § 103.                                                                                                              

                                                            CONCLUSION                                                                     
                        For the reasons set forth in the body of this opinion, we reverse the rejection of                                 
                claims 43, 45 through 49 and 52 for obviousness-type double patenting.  However, we                                        
                affirm the rejection of claims 54 and 56 through 58 for obviousness-type double                                            
                patenting.  We reverse the rejection of claims 43, 45, 46, 49, 52, 54 and 56 through 58                                    
                under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  On return of this application to the examining corps, we                                           
                recommend that the examiner step back and reassess patentability of the appealed                                           
                claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                                                                                              
                        The examiner's decision is affirmed in part.                                                                       




                        No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal                                     
                may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).                                                                                   
                                                        AFFIRMED IN PART
