OPINION
We have carefully considered the subject matter on
appeal, the rejection advanced by the Examiner and the
evidence
of obviousness relied upon by the Examiner as support for the
rejection. We have, likewise, reviewed and taken into
consideration, in reaching our decision, Appellants’
arguments set forth in the Briefs along with the Examiner's
rationale in support of the rejection and arguments in
rebuttal
2The Appeal Brief was filed April 8, 1996. In response
to the Examiner's Answer dated July 23, 1996, a Reply Brief
was filed August 12, 1996 which was acknowledged and entered
by the Examiner without further comment on August 23, 1996.
