            Appeal No. 2000-0700                                                                              
            Application No. 08/453,320                                                                        


            as in the other independent claims.  Therefore, we find this argument unpersuasive,               
            and we will sustain the rejection of claim 23.  Since appellant has not separately argued         
            any of dependent claims 24-30, they fall with claim 23.                                           
                                               CONCLUSION                                                     
                   To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1-5 and 7-11 under             
            35 U.S.C. § 112, first and second paragraphs is reversed; the decision of the examiner            
            to reject claims 1-5 and 7-22 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 is reversed and the decision of the           
            examiner to reject claims 23-30 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 is affirmed.                                






















                                                      7
