                    Application No. 08/415,166                                                                                         

                                                              Summary                                                                  
                           We reverse the written description rejection because the examiner’s                                         
                    position is not supported by the relevant case law.  We reverse the obviousness                                    
                    rejection because the cited references do not provide the requisite motivation to                                  
                    modify their teachings in order to meet the limitations of the instant claims.
