          Appeal No. 1996-0270                                                        
          Application 08/118,128                                                      


          recited in claim 19 would have been fairly suggested to one of              
          ordinary skill in the art by Sun for the reasons given above                
          regarding claim 1.                                                          
                                     Conclusion                                       
               For the above reasons, we conclude, based on the                       
          preponderance of the evidence, that the methods recited in                  
          appellant’s claims 1, 2, 19 and 21 would have been obvious to               
          one of ordinary skill in the art within the meaning of 35                   
          U.S.C. § 103.                                                               
                                      DECISION                                        
               The rejection of claims 1-5, 8-10 and 19-22 under 35                   
          U.S.C. § 103 over Sun in view of Pignatello is affirmed.                    
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR

                                      AFFIRMED
