2The examiner after rejecting claims 122, 124, 129,
130, 133 through 143, 145 and 146 in the final Office action
of September 20, 1994 (Paper No. 24) and grouping the claims
in the answer, rejected claims 80, 81, 92 through 94, and 97
through 103 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable
over Hopper in view of Hansen in his answer. It appears that
the examiner intended to reject claims 122, 124, 129, 130, 133
through 143, 145 and 146 as unpatentable over Hopper in view
of Hansen under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a), and we shall treat the
rejection as if it had been appropriately set forth.
