          Appeal No. 1998-3425                                                         
          Application 08/502,977                                                       


          through 6 and 7 on appeal.  However, we find nothing in these                
          prior art references which alters our view as stated above                   
          with regard to the basic combination of Marshall and Wilfong,                
          that is, the patents to Gluck and Shimasaki do not supply that               
          which we have found to be lacking in the examiner’s                          
          combination of Marshall and Wilfong.  Thus, the examiner’s                   
          rejections of claims 4 through 7 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 will                  
          likewise not be sustained.                                                   


          In view of the foregoing, the examiner's decision                            
          rejecting claims 4 through 9 of the present application under                
          35 U.S.C.                                                                    
          § 103 is reversed.  In addition, the examiner’s decision                     









          rejecting claims 4 through 9 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second                   
          paragraph, is also reversed.                                                 



                                          10
