                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               To summarize, the examiner’s rejection of claims 16-30                 
          under 35 U.S.C. § 112 is affirmed.  His rejections under 35                 
          U.S.C. § 103, however, are reversed.                                        


               No period for taking subsequent action concerning this                 
          appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a).
