          Appeal No. 1998-2605                                                        
          Application 08/278,612                                                      

          Because the examiner's initially stated rejection of                        
          independent claims 1, 23, 30 and 33 is fundamentally flawed,                
          the extension of this rejection by the use of additional                    
          references to reject the remaining independent claims 4, 7,                 
          14, 17 and 27 must also fall. As such, rejection of their                   
          respective dependent claims is also reversed.  Therefore, the               
          decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1 through 27 and 29               
          through 33 under 35 U.S.C.                                                  
          § 103 is reversed.                                                          
                                      REVERSED
