          Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants or the                       
          examiner, we make reference to the main brief and the answer

          OPINION                                                                     
          We have carefully considered the subject matter on                          
          appeal, the rejections advanced by the examiner and the                     
          evidence of obviousness relied upon by the examiner as support              
          for the rejections.  We have, likewise, reviewed and taken                  
          into consideration, in reaching our decision, the appellants’               
          arguments set forth in the brief along with the examiner’s
