          Appeal No. 98-2187                                                          
          Application 08/051,033                                                      


          Rather than reiterate the examiner's full statement of                      
          the above-noted rejections and the conflicting viewpoints                   
          advanced by the examiner and appellant regarding those                      
          rejections, we make reference to the examiner's answer (Paper               
          No. 25, mailed                                                              
          November 10, 1997) for the examiner's complete reasoning in                 
          support of the rejections, and to appellant’s brief (Paper No.              
          24, filed June 23, 1997) for appellant’s arguments                          
          thereagainst.                                                               


          OPINION                                                                     
          In reaching our decision in this appeal, we have given                      
          careful consideration to appellant’s specification and claims,              
          to the applied prior art references, and to the respective                  
          positions articulated by appellant and the examiner.  As a                  
          consequence of our review we have reached the determinations                
          which follow.                                                               


          Looking first to the examiner's rejection of appealed                       
          claims 62, 64 through 67, 70 through 77, 79, 80, 84 through 93              
          and 95 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Lin in              

                                          4
