          Appeal No. 2000-0332                                                        
          Application No. 08/637,838                                                  


          1 and 2).  Thus, the disclosed and claimed time-delayed period              
          is neither taught by nor would it have been suggested by the                
          applied references.                                                         
               Based upon the foregoing, the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection                
          of claims 1, 2, 4 through 12, 14 through 23 and 25 is                       
          reversed.  The 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of claims 3, 13 and                
          24 is likewise reversed because the teachings of Contri do not              
          cure the noted shortcomings in the teachings of Towsend and                 
          Borsari.                                                                    





















                                          5
