          Appeal No. 1998-1795                                                        
          Application No. 08/485,682                                                  
               Regarding claim 9, we do not find the claimed relay K1 in              
          Riester.  The addition of Resch does not cure this deficiency.              
          Therefore, we do not sustain the obviousness rejection of                   
          claim 9 over Riester and Resch.                                             
               In summary, we have sustained the anticipation rejection               
          of claims 1, 2, and 4 to 6 by Riester, while we have not                    
          sustained the anticipation rejection of claims 3, 7 and 10 by               
          Riester.  We have sustained the obviousness rejection of claim              
          8 over Riester and Resch, while we have not sustained the                   
          obviousness rejection of claim 9 over Riester and Resch.                    
          Finally, we also have not sustained the rejection of claims 7               
          to 10 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph.
