          Application No. 08/505,020                                                  


               Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced              
          by the examiner and the appellant regarding the above-noted                 
          rejections, we make reference to the final rejection (Paper                 
          No. 7, mailed June 10, 1997) and the examiner's answer (Paper               
          No. 12, mailed January 13, 1998) for the examiner's complete                
          reasoning in support of the rejections, and to appellant's                  
          brief (Paper No. 11, filed November 21, 1997) for appellant's               
          arguments thereagainst.                                                     


                                       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 appellant's arguments set forth in the brief              
          along with the examiner's rationale in support of the                       
          rejections and arguments in rebuttal set forth in the                       
          examiner's answer.
