               The rejection of claims 44 and 45 as being anticipated by              
          Porter is affirmed.                                                         
               The rejection of claims 42 and 43 as being unpatentable over           
          Porter is reversed.                                                         
               The decision of the examiner twice rejecting claims 42-45 is           
          affirmed-in-part.
