                   Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants or the examiner, we                          

             make reference to the briefs and the answer for the respective details                            

             thereof.

                   We have carefully considered the subject matter on appeal, the                              

             rejections advanced by the examiner and the evidence of obviousness relied                        

             upon by the examiner as support for the rejections.  We have, likewise,                           

             reviewed and taken into consideration, in reaching our decision, the
