          Appeal No. 1998-2884                                                        
          Application No. 08/495,960                                                  


          Examiner’s obviousness rejection of independent claim 22, as                
          well as dependent claims 23-26 and 28 which fall with claim                 
          22, is sustained.                                                           
               In summary, we have not sustained the Examiner’s 35                    
          U.S.C.                                                                      
          § 112, first and second paragraph, rejections of claims 13-19               
          and 21.  We have, however, sustained the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C.               
          § 103 rejection of claims 22-26 and 28.  Therefore, the                     
          Examiner’s decision rejecting claims 13-19, 21-26, and 28 is                
          affirmed-in-part.                                                           









               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                                                                 
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
          § 1.136(a).                                                                 
                                   AFFIRMED-IN-PART                                   
                                                                                     


                                          15
