          Application No. 08/106,252                                                  


          Basol et al. (Basol)          4,950,615                Aug. 21,             
          1990                                                                        

               Claims 1-7, 15-19, and 21 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.               
          § 103 as being unpatentable over Jack in view of Basol.                     




                                       OPINION                                        
               Having carefully considered each of appellants*                        
          arguments, we are not persuaded of reversible error on the                  
          part of the examiner.  Accordingly, we will sustain this                    
          rejection. We add the following comments for emphasis.                      
               Appellants have not grouped the appealed claims                        
          separately or provided a separate argument for any particular               
          claim on  appeal.  Accordingly, the appealed claims stand or                
          fall together.  In re Young, 927 F.2d 588, 590, 18 USPQ2d                   
          1089, 1091 (Fed. Cir. 1991): In re Nielson, 816 F.2d 1567,                  
          1571, 2 USPQ2d 1525, 1527 (Fed. Cir. 1987); In re Kaslow, 707               
          F.2d 1366, 1376, 217 USPQ 1089, 1096 (Fed. Cir. 1983).  We                  
          will direct our comments primarily to claim 1.
