          Appeal No. 1999-2826                                                        
          Application No. 08/696,247                                                  

          § 103(a) rejection of independent claims 1 and 7, as well as                
          claims 2-6 and 8-12 dependent thereon, cannot be sustained.                 
          Therefore, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1-12 is            
          reversed.
