          Appeal No. 1998-2603                                                        
          Application 08/483,641                                                      


          the Examiner’s rejection of claim 13, and likewise claims 14                
          and 15 which stand or fall therewith and contain the same                   
          unmet limitation.                                                           
                    With respect to claims 16 and 17, we will not                     
          sustain the Examiner’s rejection of these claims which also                 
          include the unmet limitation of selection of a pattern from a               
          plurality of patterns.                                                      
                    In view of the foregoing, the decision of the                     
          Examiner rejecting claims 1, 3 through 5, 7 through 9, 11 and               
          12 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed; however, the decision of              
          the Examiner rejecting claims 13 through 17 under 35 U.S.C. §               
          103 is reversed.                                                            
















                                          10
