          Application No. 08/575,347                                                  


          obviousness rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is, of course,                  
          impermissible.  See In re Dembiczak, supra; W. L. Gore and                  
          Assocs., Inc. v. Garlock, Inc., supra.  It follows that we                  
          cannot sustain the examiner's rejections of claims 1 and 3 to               
          9.                                                                          


                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject                   
          claims 1 and 3 to 9 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
