          Appeal No. 1997-2986                                                        
          Application No. 08/260,784                                                  


          different stacks on conveyor 2, as would happen if                          
          Taijonlahti's apparatus is used                                             
          to sort and store pieces cut from two sheets of stock in                    
          accordance with a two identical program routines.                           
          Nevertheless, we are of the opinion that it would have been                 
          obvious to deposit identical pieces made in accordance with                 
          different program routines (e.g., from different sheets of                  
          stock) in the same location on the pallet in order to conserve              
          space on the pallet.  Consequently, the rejection of claim 23               
          is also affirmed.
