                 Application No. 08/521,363                                                                                                        

                         Claims 8-10 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over                                               
                 Murayama in view of Gill.  Since each of dependent claims 8-10 contain at least the                                               
                 limitations of claim 1, and Gill does not remedy the deficiencies we find in Murayama, we                                         
                 do not sustain the rejection of claims 8-10.                                                                                      


                                                               CONCLUSION                                                                          
                         The rejection of claims 1-17 is reversed.
