Appeal No. 1999-0114 Application No. 08/656,286 As to the rejection of claim 13 as being unpatentable further in view of Plante, and the rejection of claim 15 as being unpatentable further in view of Akerstrom, we have carefully reviewed the Plante and Akerstrom references additionally relied upon by the examiner but find nothing therein that makes up for the deficiencies of Weiss and Cosmo discussed supra. Therefore, the examiner’s rejections of claims 13 and 15 also cannot be sustained. The decision of the examiner is reversed. REVERSED Harrison E.
