          Appeal No. 1996-3444                                                        
          Application No. 08/245,785                                                  


               5.   Claims 4-7 and 9-21 stand finally rejected under                  
          35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Brown in view of                 
          Sze and Young.                                                              
               Rather than reiterate the arguments of Appellant and the               
          Examiner, reference is made to the Brief and Answer for the                 
          respective details.                                                         
                                       OPINION                                        
               We have carefully considered the subject matter on                     
          appeal, the rejections advanced by the Examiner and the                     
          evidence                                                                    
          of obviousness relied upon by the Examiner as support for the               
          rejections.  We have, likewise, reviewed and taken into                     
          consideration, in reaching our decision, Appellant’s                        
          arguments set forth in the Brief along with the Examiner's                  
          rationale in support of the rejections and arguments in                     
          rebuttal                                                                    
          set forth in the Examiner's Answer.  It is our view, after                  
          consideration of the record before us, that the collective                  
          evidence relied upon and the level of skill in the particular               
          art would not have suggested to one of ordinary skill in the                


                                          6
