          Appeal No. 2001-1604                                                        
          Application No. 08/785,912                                                  


               Since independent claims 6, 9 and 12 contain limitations               
          similar to independent claim 1, we also will not sustain the                
          rejection of claims 6-14 and 16-19 under 35 U.S.C. 103.                     


               The examiner’s decision rejecting claims 1-20 under                    
          35 U.S.C. §103 is reversed.                                                 


                                      REVERSED
