         Appeal No. 2001-2072                                                       
         Application 08/910,885                                                     


         II.  The obviousness-type double patenting rejections                      
              We sustain these rejections pro forma because appellants              
         have not argued against these rejections in the brief and reply            
         brief.                                                                     

         III.  Conclusion                                                           
              We reverse the rejection of claim 1 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as          
         being obvious over Hockett.                                                
              We reverse the rejection of claims 2, 3, and 7 under 35               
         U.S.C. § 103 as being obvious over Hockett in view of Barrington.          
              We reverse the rejection of claim 8 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as          
         being unpatentable over Hockett in view of Barrington and further          
         in view of Caserta.                                                        
              We reverse the rejection of claim 9 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as          
         being unpatentable over Hockett in view of Barrington and further          
         view of Erdmannsdoerfer.                                                   
              We sustain each of the obviousness-type double patenting              
         rejections.
