                 Application No. 08/302,864                                                                                                             

                 patents,  and  2                                                                                                                       



























                          2In our evaluation of the applied patents, we have                                                                            
                 considered all of the disclosure thereof for what it would                                                                             
                 have fairly taught one of ordinary skill in the art.  See In                                                                           
                 re Boe, 355 F.2d 961, 965, 148 USPQ 507, 510 (CCPA 1966).                                                                              
                 Additionally, this panel of the board has taken into account                                                                           
                 not only the specific teachings, but also the inferences which                                                                         
                 one skilled in the art would reasonably have been expected to                                                                          
                 draw from the disclosure.  See In re Preda, 401 F.2d 825, 826,                                                                         
                 159 USPQ 342, 344 (CCPA 1968).                                                                                                         

                                                                           4
