                Application No. 08/422,612                                                                      

                                                   Summary                                                      
                       We reverse the rejection based on Dull, Dietzel, et al., because the cited               
                references would not have motivated a person skilled in the art to combine their                
                respective teachings.  We reverse the rejection for nonenablement because the                   
                examiner has not shown that making or using the claimed invention would have                    
                required undue experimentation, and we reverse the rejections based on King                     
                because King is not available as prior art.
