                    The Examiner relies on the following references:                  
          Ho                                 4,747,058           May  24,             
          1988                                                                        
          Wroblewski et al. (Wroblewski)     5,339,391           Aug. 16,             
          1994                                (effective filing date May              
          14, 1990)                                                                   
          Appellant’s admitted prior art (APA)                                        
                    Claims 1 through 4 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §               
          103 as being unpatentable over Appellant’s admitted prior art               
          (APA) in view of Ho and further in view of Wroblewski.                      
                    Rather than reiterate the arguments of Appellant and              
          the Examiner, reference is made to the brief and answer for                 
          the respective details thereof.                                             
                                       OPINION                                        
                    After a careful review of the evidence before us, we              
          will not sustain the rejection of claims 1 through 4 under                  
          35 U.S.C. § 103.
