          Appeal No. 1997-1321                                                        
          Application No. 08/366,448                                                  


          the Metals Handbook teaches that the teachings of the applied               
          references do not encompass an induced strain “in the groove                
          between the air bearing surfaces” of the sliders.  For this                 
          reason, none of the prior art rejections of claims 2, 3, 5                  
          through 7, 21, 24 through 29, 32 and 34 can be sustained.
