          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
