          Appeal No. 1997-2839                                                        
          Application No. 08/448,778                                                  
          dependent claim 17 under 35 U.S.C. ' 103 is also not                        
          sustained.                                                                  
               We have also reviewed the Nyfeler and Nubson references                
          additionally applied in the other respective rejections of                  
          claims 18-23 and 26-35, but find nothing therein which makes                
          up for the deficiencies of Hanson, Nelson, Marazzi '684 and/or              
          Marazzi '467, discussed above.  Accordingly, we cannot sustain              
          the examiner's respective rejection of appealed claims 18-23                
          and 26-35 under 35 U.S.C. ' 103.                                            























                                         12
