          Appeal No. 1997-3483                                                        
          Application 08/254,575                                                      


          Therefore, we do not sustain the rejection of claim 26 over                 
          Lo, Lepage, Kilborn and Seckinger.                                          
               Claim 27                                                               
               This claim also depends on claim 20 and is rejected over               
          Lo in view of Lepage and Kilborn, and further in view of                    
          Randall. The additional reference, Randall, does not meet the               
          above noted deficiency of the combination of Lo, Lepage and                 
          Kilborn.  Therefore, we do not sustain the rejection of claim               
          27 over Lo, Lepage, Kilborn and Randall.                                    














               In conclusion, we have reversed the decision of the                    
          Examiner rejecting claims 20 to 28 over various combinations                
          of Lo, Lepage, Kilborn, Crafton, Seckinger and Randall.                     


                                          8
