          Application 08/246,140

          of 13.29 mm /kg to 41.01 mm /kg using tan 10E(Paper No. 16,                 
          page 2).                                                                    
               Recalculating,                                                         
          K=(0.762)(12.7) (8.40)/(1.9)/82.55=6.58 mm.  This is outside2                                                            
          the claimed range.  We find no motivation to modify the                     
          dimensions in Shrader so as to increase this value and the                  
          Examiner has provided none.  Accordingly, the rejection of                  
          claim 1 is reversed.  Nakamura does not cure the deficiency                 
          with respect to the rejection of claim 1 over Shrader and                   
          Bauder.  Therefore, the rejection of dependent claims 2 and                 
          3 is also reversed.                                                         
                                    CONCLUSION                                        
               The rejections of claims 1-3 are reversed.
