          Appeal No. 1999-1584                                                       
          Application No. 08/579,242                                                 


          claims 10 and 15 over Watson and Perry.  Consequently, we do               
          not sustain the rejection of the dependent claims 2 to 7, 11,              
          13, 14 and 17 to 20 over Watson and Perry.                                 
               Watson, Perry and Kishi                                               
               Claims 8, 12 and 16 are rejected  as being unpatentable1                                     
          over Watson in view of Perry and Kishi at page 5 of the                    
          examiner’s answer.  Kishi is used to verify that the label is              
          correct.  Kishi, however, does not cure the deficiency noted               
          above in the combination of Watson and Perry.   Therefore, we              
          do not sustain the rejection of claims 8, 12, and 16 over                  
          Watson, Perry and Kishi.                                                   







                                     CONCLUSION                                      
               The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1 to 8 and              


               The Examiner’s statement of rejection for these claims does not1                                                                    
          include Perry as one of the references relied upon, however, since these   
          claims depend from independent claims 1, 10 and 15 in whose rejection Perry
          was used, the rejection of these claims must also include reliance on Perry.
          Therefore,  we consider Perry as one of the references in this combination.
                                          8
