          Appeal No. 1999-0739                                                        
          Application 08/747,663                                                      




                    We have additionally reviewed the patent to Nack                  
          applied along with Curtis by the examiner against dependent                 




          claims 7 and 18.  However, we find nothing in this patent                   
          which would change our view as expressed above, i.e., nothing               
          which would supply that which we have indicated above to be                 
          lacking in Curtis.  Thus, the examiner’s rejection of claims 7              
          and 18 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 will also not be sustained.                    

                    In view of the foregoing, the examiner's decision                 
          rejecting claims 1 through 18 of the present application under              
          35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.                                                

                                      REVERSED
