          Examiner, reference is made to the Briefs  and Answer for the2                                  
          respective details thereof.                                                 


                                       OPINION                                        
               We have carefully considered the subject matter on

          in support of the rejections and the evidence of obviousness                
          relied upon by the Examiner as support for the obviousness                  
          rejection.  We have, likewise, reviewed and taken into                      
          consideration, in reaching our decision, Appellant’s arguments              
          set forth in the Briefs along with the Examiner’s rationale in              
          support of the rejections and arguments in rebuttal set forth               
          in the Examiner’s Answer.                                                   
              It is our view, after consideration of the record before               
          us, that Appellant’s specification in this application                      
          describes the claimed invention in a manner which complies

          response to the Examiner’s Answer (Paper No. 14) dated February 10, 1998, a
