          Appeal No. 2001-0743                                                        
          Application 08/938,346                                                      


          claims 4-6 and 11-16 which are rejected on the same combination             
          of references.  Since none of the additionally applied references           
          overcome the deficiencies in the basic combination of references            
          applied against claim 1, we also do not sustain the rejection               
          against claims 2, 3 and 8-10.  Therefore, the decision of the               
          examiner rejecting claims 1-6 and 8-16 is reversed.
