                                                     CONCLUSION

              by Conmy is affirmed.  The rejection of claims 30 and 31 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 as                            
              being anticipated by Conmy is reversed.                                                                      
                     The rejections of claims 2-9, 12-16, 18-23, 29, and 33-35 under 35 U.S.C. § 103                       
              as being unpatentable over Conmy and Jones, and of claims 10, 11, and 24-28 under                            
              35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Conmy, Jones, and Tognazzini, are                                 
              reversed.                                                                                                    
                     The examiner’s decision in rejecting claims 1-35 is thus affirmed-in-part.
