          Appeal No. 96-4169                                                          
          Application 08/378,066                                                      



          35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Raasch, Galbraith,               
          and in view of Kaiser.  We note that the Examiner is using the              
          same reasoning as above to combine Raasch and Galbraith.  We                
          will not sustain this rejection as well for the same reasons                
          as above in that we find no reason or suggestion to modify                  
          Raasch with the Galbraith teachings.                                        
                    We have not sustained the rejection of claims 1                   
          through 19, 24 and 25 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  Accordingly, the              
          Examiner's decision is reversed.
