          Appeal No. 1996-3589                                                        
          Application No. 08/098,325                                                  


          provide a teaching regarding the height of the bosses or                    
          recognize a criticality as to boss density, distribution or                 
          dual patterns, and 3) Nystrand uses a different density                     
          combination than that claimed and does not recognize a height               
          for two separate embossing patterns as being different.                     
               Appellants, however, do not address the discussion in our              
          opinion regarding how Schulz and Nystrand apply to appellants’              
          claims, and present a specific argument as to why appellants                
          consider our analysis to be incorrect.  Consequently, we are                
          not convinced of error in our decision.                                     
               We have reconsidered our decision but, for the reason                  
          given above, decline to make any change thereto.
