              Appeal No. 1999-1681                                                                                       
              Application 08/634,830                                                                                     

              (5)    Claims 1, 2, 5, 6, and 12 through 16 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, as                     
              based on a non-enabling disclosure.                                                                        


                                                     DISPOSITION                                                         


                     On consideration of the record, we find that the examiner's rejections have little                  
              merit.  For the reasons succinctly stated in applicants' Appeal Brief and Reply Brief, we                  
              shall not sustain any of the prior art or non-prior art rejections.  The examiner's decision,              
              rejecting claims 1, 2, 5, 6, and 12 through 16, is reversed.                                               


                                                     REVERSED
