OPINION
In reaching our decision in this appeal, we considered
the subject matter on appeal and the rejections advanced by
the examiner. Furthermore, we duly considered the arguments
and evidence of the appellant and examiner. After considering
the totality of the record, we are persuaded that the examiner
erred in rejecting claims 1, 5-8, and 9-14. Accordingly, we
reverse.
