          Appeal No. 1997-3919                                                        
          Application 08/392,160                                                      


          Thus, 37 C.F.R. § 1.192 provides that this board is not under               
          any greater burden than the court which is not under any                    
          burden to raise and/or consider such issues.  Therefore, we                 
          are not required to raise and/or consider such issues.                      
               In view of the foregoing, the decision of the Examiner                 
          rejecting claim 5 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed; however,               
          the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1 through 4                   
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.  In addition, the decision               
          of the Examiner rejecting claims 1 through 4 under 35 U.S.C. §              
          112, first paragraph, is reversed.                                          



















                                          15
