          Application 08/048,969                                                      



                    The following rejection is before us for review.                  


                    Claims 16 through 18 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.               
          § 103 as being unpatentable over Kalikow in view of Herve.                  
                    The full text of the examiner's rejection and re-                 
          sponse to the argument presented by appellant appears in the                
          answer (Paper No. 34), while the complete statement of appel-               
          lant’s argument can be found in the main and substitute reply               
          briefs (Paper Nos. 33 and 37).                                              


                                       OPINION                                        
                    In reaching our conclusion on the obviousness issue               
          raised in this appeal, this panel of the board has carefully                
          considered appellant’s specification and claims, the applied                
          patents, and the respective viewpoints of appellant and the                 
          examiner.  As a consequence of our review, we make the deter-               
          mination which follows.                                                     






                                          3
