          Appeal No. 97-0260                                                          
          Application 08/287,477                                                      


          Oliver   does not cure the deficiencies noted while discussing              
          said rejection of claim 18, therefore, the rejection of claim               
          20 over Lewis, Janz and Oliver is also not sustained.                       
          In summary, we have sustained under 35 U.S.C.                               
          § 103 the rejection of claims 1 to 3, 8 to 10, 15 and 16 over               
          Lewis and Janz; of claims 13 and 14 over Lewis, Janz and                    
          Sidman and of claim 17 over Lewis, Janz and Oliver, while we                
          have not sustained the rejection of claims 11, 12, 18, 19 and               
          28 over Lewis and Janz, and of claim 20 over Lewis, Janz and                
          Oliver.  Accordingly, the decision of the Examiner rejecting                
          claims 1 through 3, 8 through 20 and 28 under 35 U.S.C. § 103               
          is affirmed in part.                                                        





               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
          § 1.136(a).                                                                 
                                  AFFIRMED-IN-PART                                    




                                        -15-
