          Application No. 08/915,355                                                  


          above, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1 to 3, 5              
          to 9, 14 to 19 and 23 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) is reversed.                 


          The obviousness rejection                                                   
               We have also reviewed the Davis reference additionally                 
          applied in the rejection of claims 4 and 24 (dependent on                   
          claims 1 and 23) but find nothing therein which makes up for                
          the deficiencies of Roman discussed above regarding claims 1                
          and 23.  Accordingly, the decision of the examiner to reject                
          claims 4 and 24 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
