          Appeal No. 1998-2476                                                        
          Application No. 08/074,485                                                  

          McClure.  Therefore, we do not sustain the obviousness                      
          rejection of these claims over Toupin, McClure, and Pohl.                   
               In conclusion, we have reversed the examiner’s decision                
          rejecting claims 114, 119-130, 153, 178, 203, and 228 under 35              
          U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph; claims 114-117 under 35 U.S.C.              
          § 102 as being anticipated by Toupin; claims 115-144, 149-169,              
          174-194, 199-219, and 224-230 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being                
          obvious over Toupin and McClure; claim 118 under 35 U.S.C. §                
          103 over Smith and Gerry; claims 145, 147, 170, 172, 195, 197,              
          220, and 222 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Toupin, McClure, and                
          Takano; and claims 146, 148, 171, 173, 196, 198, 221, and 223               
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Toupin, McClure, and Pohl.                       
                                      REVERSED
