               Application No. 08/352,079                                                                                           


                                                            Conclusion                                                              
                       For the reasons we set forth above, we affirm the examiner’s rejection of claims 6-8 and                     
               11-12 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as unpatentable over Abe and additionally, the examiner’s                             
               rejection of claim 8 as unpatentable over Patil or Dunne in view of Abe.  Furthermore, we                            
               reverse the examiner’s decision of the examiner to reject: (1) claims 6-8 and 11-12 under 35                         
               U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph; and (2) claims 6-7 and 11-12 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as                             
               unpatentable over Patil or Dunne.  Accordingly, we affirm the decision of the examiner in                            
               rejecting the claims on appeal.                                                                                      






















                                                                19
