          Appeal No. 2000-0550                                                        
          Application 08/706,114                                                      


          recited in Appellant’s claims 1 and 4.  Furthermore, we note that           
          claims 2 and 3 are dependent on claim 1 and thereby recite the              
          above limitation.                                                           
               Therefore, we find that Basso fails to teach all of the                
          limitations of claims 1 through 4, and thereby the claims are not           
          anticipated by Basso.                                                       
               In view of the foregoing, the decision of the Examiner                 
          rejecting claims 1 through 4 is reversed.                                   
                                      REVERSED
