            Appeal No. 2001-1269                                                      
            Application No. 08/939,685                                                

                 For the reasons expressed supra for claims 1 and 4, the              
            35 U.S.C. § 102(b) rejection of claims 13 and 19 is                       
            sustained.  The 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) rejection of claims                    
            16 through 18 is sustained because appellants have not                    
            presented any patentability arguments for these claims.                   
                 For the reason set forth supra for claim 12, the                     
            35 U.S.C. § 102(b) rejection of claims 15, 20 and 22 is                   
            reversed.                                                                 
                                      DECISION                                        
                 The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1 through              
            22 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) is affirmed as to claims 1, 2,                
            4, 5, 11, 13 and 16 through 19, and is reversed as to claims              
            3, 6 through 10, 12, 14, 15 and 20 through 22.  Accordingly,              
            the decision of the examiner is affirmed-in-part.
