          Appeal 97-1618                                                              
          Application 08/368,078                                                      

          the prior art, it necessarily follows that the narrower                     
          subject matter of claims 2 and 3 likewise have not been shown               
          to be unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                                   

                  Further observations concerning the specification                   
               Our review of the specification reveals that there may be              
          two errors on page 2, lines 27 and 29.  It would appear that                
          the references to FIG. 2 should be references to FIG. 1.  Cf.               
          page 3, line 24 and page 4, lines 12-13.  The examiner and                  
          applicants' may wish to determine whether an amendment of the               
          specification to correct the errors is in order.                            
                                      REVERSED.
