Application No. 08/206,743
Claims 1 to 13, 15 to 20 and 25 to 30 stand rejected
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Lazzaro in
view of Goodrich and Miyate.
Claims 21 and 22 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
being unpatentable over Lazzaro in view of Goodrich and Miyate
as applied to claim 1 above, and further in view of Scholtze.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced
by the examiner and the appellants regarding the above-noted
rejections, we make reference to the examiner's answer (Paper
No. 12, mailed December 7, 1995) and the supplemental
examiner's answer (Paper No. 18, mailed July 26, 1996) for the
examiner's complete reasoning in support of the rejections,
and to the appellants' reply brief (Paper No. 15, filed May
17, 1996) and substitute brief (Paper No. 25, filed October
20, 1997) for the appellants' arguments thereagainst.
