          Application No. 08/829,471                                                    

          references individually where the rejections are based on                     
          combinations of references.  In re Keller, 642 F. 2d 413, 425, 208            
          USPQ 871, 881(CCPA 1981); In re Merck & Co., Inc., 800 F. 2d 1091,            
          1096, 231 USPQ 375, 380 (Fed. Cir. 1986).                                     
               In conclusion, we have sustained the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C.                
          § 102(e) rejection of claim 8 as well as the 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)               
          rejection of claim 9.  Therefore, the decision of the Examiner to             
          reject claims 8 and 9 is affirmed.
