          Appeal No. 1998-2569                                                        
          Application No. 08/517,132                                                  


          updated conditions with initial start data.  In our opinion,                
          even assuming arguendo the feasibility of combining the                     
          teachings of Susman and Hamada, the resulting combination                   
          would fall well short of meeting or suggesting the                          
          requirements of the claims on appeal.                                       









               In conclusion, we have not sustained either of the                     
          Examiner’s rejections of the claims on appeal.  Accordingly,                
          the Examiner’s decision rejecting claims 1-16 is reversed.                  


                                   REVERSED
