          Appeal No. 96-3054                                                          
          Application 08/134,147                                                      



                    With regard to the rejection of claims 17 and 18                  
          (dependent from claim 15) under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being                    
          unpatentable over Wong in view of Koskowich and further in                  
          view of Ogawa, we find nothing in Ogawa to supply the elements              
          missing from Wong and Koskowich as discussed supra.  We,                    
          therefore, will not sustain the rejection of claims 17 and 18.              
                    In view of the foregoing, the decision of the                     
          Examiner rejecting claims 1 through 7 and 14 under 35 U.S.C. §              
          112, first paragraph, is affirmed; however, the decision of                 
          the Examiner rejecting claims 19 through 25 under 35 U.S.C. §               
          112, first                                                                  
          paragraph, and claims 15 through 18 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is                
          reversed.                                                                   













                                          12
