          Application No. 08/074,303                                                  


               Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced              
          by the examiner and the appellant regarding the above-noted                 
          rejections, we make reference to the examiner's answer (Paper               
          No. 16, mailed June 5, 1995) for the examiner's complete                    
          reasoning in support of the rejections, and to the appellant's              
          brief (Paper No. 13, filed March 2, 1995) for the appellant's               
          arguments thereagainst.                                                     


                                       OPINION                                        
               In reaching our decision in this appeal, we have given                 
          careful consideration to the appellant's specification and                  
          claims, to the applied prior art reference, and to the                      
          respective positions articulated by the appellant and the                   
          examiner.  As a consequence of our review, we make the                      
          determinations which follow.                                                


          The indefiniteness issues                                                   
               We will not sustain the examiner's rejection of claims 1               
          through 4, 6 and 7 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph.
