          Appeal No. 1996-1877                                                        
          Application No. 08/149,716                                                  

               Claims 24-28 and 34 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103               
          as being unpatentable over Chlosta in view of Natelson or                   
          Yamano and further in view of Harris.                                       
               Claims 29-33, 35 and 37 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §               
          103 as being unpatentable over Chlosta in view of Natelson or               
          Yamano and further in view of Fujitsuka and Jakubowski.                     


               Rather than attempt to reiterate the examiner’s full                   
          commentary with regard to the above noted rejections and the                
          conflicting viewpoints advanced by the examiner and appellants              
          regarding the rejections, we make reference to the final                    
          rejection (Paper No. 25, mailed July 19, 1994) and the                      
          examiner’s answer (Paper No. 29, mailed July 7, 1995 ) for the              
          reasoning in support of the rejections, and to appellants’                  
          brief (Paper No. 28, received April 20, 1995) and reply brief               
          (Paper No. 30, received September 11, 1995) for the arguments               
          thereagainst.                                                               


                                       OPINION                                        
               In reaching our decision in this appeal, we have given                 
          careful consideration to appellants’ specification and claims,
