            Serial No. 08/314,471                                                     



            equally applicable in overcoming this rejection.                          
            Accordingly, the evidence weighs in favor of the                          
            nonoviousness of the claimed                                              
            invention over the prior art and, as a result, the                        
            rejection is reversed.
