          Moreno et al. (Moreno)        4,780,808                Oct.  25,            
          1988                                                                        
               Claims 14, 23 through 25 and 27 through 30 stand rejected              
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Moreno in                  
          view of Harris.                                                             
               Claim 26 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being                
          unpatentable over Moreno in view of Harris and Ryan.                        
               Reference is made to the briefs and the answers for the                
          respective positions of the appellant and the examiner.                     


                                       OPINION                                        
               We have carefully considered the entire record before us,              
          and we will reverse the obviousness rejection of claims 14 and              
          23 through 30.                                                              
               At the outset, we note that appellant’s extensive                      
          arguments concerning the type of buffer used in the disclosed               
          and claimed invention are not convincing of the nonobviousness              
          of the claimed invention because the type of buffer is neither              



                                          3
