          Appeal No. 2000-0499                                                        
          Application 08/716,431                                                      



          references individually where the rejection is based upon the               
          teaching of a combination of references.  In re Merck & Co.,                
          800 F.2d 1091, 1097, 231 USPQ 375, 380 (Fed. Cir. 1986).                    
          Additionally as we have pointed out above, De Groot teaches                 
          the importance of allowing venting of decomposition gases to                
          prevent bursting of the tank.                                               
               For the reasons given above, the rejections of claims 1                
          through 6 on appeal are affirmed.
