          Application 08/698,743                                                      


          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. 12, mailed                                                              
          March 10, 1998) for the examiner's complete reasoning in                    
          support of the rejections, and to appellant’s brief (Paper No.              
          11, filed February 5, 1998) and reply brief (Paper No. 13,                  
          filed                                                                       
          April 13, 1998) 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.
