                  Application 08/689,867                                                                                                                  



                           In view of the foregoing, we conclude that the subject matter of claims 5 through 24                                           
                  and 27 through 30 would not have been obvious to the artisan within 35 U.S.C.                                                           
                  § 103 based upon the applied prior art.  Therefore, the decision of the examiner rejecting                                              
                  these claims under 35 U.S.C. §103 is reversed.                                                                                          
                                                                    REVERSED
