          Application No. 08/504,233                                                  


               Since all the limitations of claim 11 would not have been              
          obvious from the applied prior art for the reasons stated                   
          above, the decision of the examiner to reject claim 11 under                
          35 U.S.C.                                                                   
          § 103 is reversed.                                                          


          Claims 13 to 18                                                             
               We will not sustain the rejection of dependent claims 13               
          to 18 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 for the reasons set forth above                 
          with respect to their parent independent claim (i.e., claim                 
          11).                                                                        





                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject                   
          claims 1 and 3 to 10 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed and the              
          decision of the examiner to reject claims 11 and 13 to 18                   
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
