          Appeal No. 1998-0915                                                        
          Application No. 08/441,194                                                  


          Since we agree with appellant that the examiner’s basic                     
          reliance on Ipposhi to support the rejections is misplaced, we              
          do not sustain either of the examiner’s rejections which are                
          based on Ipposhi.  Accordingly, the decision of the examiner                
          rejecting claims 1 and 2 is reversed.                                       
                                      REVERSED
