          Application No. 08/480,561                                                  


          This feature clearly is not taught by Bardocz, and therefore                
          the                                                                         
          reference cannot be anticipatory of the subject matter recited              
          in claim 19.                                                                
               The Section 102(b) rejection of claim 19 and dependent                 
          claim 20 therefore is not sustained.                                        
                                      SUMMARY                                         
               The rejection of claims 1-7, 19 and 20 under 35 U.S.C.                 
          § 112, first and second paragraphs, is not sustained.                       
               The rejection of claims 1-7, 19 and 20 under 35 U.S.C.                 
          § 102(b) is not sustained.                                                  
               The decision of the examiner is reversed.
