OPINION
We have carefully considered the entire record before us,
and we will not sustain the 35 U.S.C. § 103(b) rejection of
claims 7, 8, 11, 15 and 18, and the 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)
rejections of claims 8 through 10, 12 through 14, 16, 17, 21
through 27, and 29 through 33. However, we will sustain the
35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of claims 7, 11, 15 and 18. As
indicated infra, a new ground of rejection of claims 7 through
18, 21 through 27, and
29 through 33 has been entered under the provisions of 37 CFR
§ 1.196(b).
