               Application No. 08/955,090                                                                   

                                                 Summary                                                    
                      The cited references would not have led a person of ordinary skill in the             
               art to make the instantly claimed product with a reasonable expectation of                   
               success.  We therefore reverse the rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                          


                                                REVERSED
