          Appeal No. 1997-2057                                                        
          Application No. 08/287,670                                                  
          system.  Accordingly, we cannot sustain the rejection of claim              
          7.                                                                          
               As to claims 8 and 9, which depend from claim 7, neither               
          Itano nor Chase cures the deficiencies of the Takada, Bolan,                
          Faucher combination.  Therefore, we must reverse the                        
          rejections of claim 8 and 9 as well.                                        
                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 7 through 9              
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.                                          
                                      REVERSED
