          Application No. 08/755,052                                                  

          cannot be the basis for a finding of obviousness within the                 
          meaning of 35 U.S.C. 103.                                                   

               We have sustained the rejection of claims 1, 2, 5 and 7                
          under 35 U.S.C. 102(b) and we have sustained the rejection of               
          claims 1, 2, 4, 5, 11 and 12 under 35 U.S.C. 102(e) but we have             
          not sustained the rejection of claims 3, 7-9 and 13-15 under                
          35 U.S.C. 103.                                                              
               Accordingly, the examiner’s decision is affirmed-in-part.              
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
          § 1.136(a).                                                                 
                                  AFFIRMED-IN-PART
