          Appeal No. 1997-0230                                                        
          Application No. 08/416,668                                                  


          claim 1 also apply to claim 8, and the examiner does not explain            
          how Bennett remedies the deficiencies.  Accordingly, we reverse             
          the rejection of claim 8 and claims 9-13 which depend, directly             
          or indirectly, therefrom.                                                   
                                       DECISION                                       
               The rejections under 35 U.S.C. § 103 of claims 1-7 over                
          appellants’ admitted prior art in view of Yount, and claims 8-13            
          over appellants’ admitted prior art in view of Yount and                    
          Bennett, are reversed.
