          Appeal No. 2000-0563                                                        
          Application No. 08/813,965                                                  


          subject matter recited in claim 14 and the prior art are such               
          that the subject matter as a whole would have been obvious at               
          the time the invention was made to a person having ordinary                 
          skill in the art.  Accordingly, we shall not sustain the                    
          standing 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of claim 14, or of                    
          claims 15 through 21 which depend therefrom, as being                       
          unpatentable over Ulatowski in view of Haglund.                             









                                       SUMMARY                                        
               The decision of the examiner to reject claims 14 through               
          21 is reversed.                                                             
                                      REVERSED
