          Appeal No. 96-2871                                                          
          Application 08/352,964                                                      


          are met since 22 is not adjacent to the structural panel 12.                
          Thus, we will not sustain the 35 U.S.C.                                     
          § 102 rejection of claim 7.                                                 
               In view of the foregoing, the decision of the Examiner                 
          rejecting claims 1 through 15 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second                 
          paragraph is affirmed; the decision of the Examiner rejecting               
          claims 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 12 through 15 under 35 U.S.C.                
          § 102 is affirmed; the decision of the Examiner rejecting                   
          claims 3, 4, 10 and 11 (which stand or fall with the claims                 
          from which they depend) under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed;                  
          however, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claim 7 under               
          35 U.S.C. § 102 is reversed.                                                
















                                          11
