mailed June 10, 1998) for the examiner's complete reasoning in support of the rejections, and to the
appellants’ brief (Paper No. 41, filed February 13, 1998) and reply brief (Paper No. 43, filed July 30,

OPINION
In reaching our decision in this appeal, we have carefully considered the subject matter on
appeal, the rejections advanced by the examiner and the evidence of obviousness relied upon by the
examiner as support for the rejections. We have, likewise, reviewed and taken into consideration, in
reaching our decision, the appellants' arguments set forth in the briefs along with the examiner's rationale
in support of the rejections and arguments in rebuttal set forth in the examiner's answer.
