          Appeal No. 1997-4385                                                        
          Application No. 08/288,864                                                  


          disposed adjacent an inlet opening for defining an inlet                    
          passage.                                                                    
               Since every feature of claim 25 is not disclosed by                    
          Evans, Suzuki or Kalen, the claim is not anticipated by any of              
          the applied references.  Claims 26 through 29 depend from                   
          claim 25 and include all the limitations of that claim.  Thus,              
          the                                                                         
          § 102(b) rejections of claims 25 through 29 based on Evans,                 
          Suzuki and Kalen will not be sustained.                                     
                                       SUMMARY                                        
               The decision of the examiner to reject claims 19 through               
          24 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being anticipated by Dewitz is               
          affirmed.  The decision of the examiner to reject claims 25                 
          through 29 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being anticipated by                 
          Evans or Suzuki or Kalen is reversed.                                       
               The decision of the examiner is affirmed-in-part.
