                  of the obviousness of the claimed invention as a whole.                                                                                 
                           We therefore do not sustain the rejection of claims 1-10 under 35 U.S.C. § 103                                                 
                  as being unpatentable over Martens and Brenza.

                           The rejection of claims 1-10 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
