         fall with claim 20.  Thus, it follows that the decision of the          
         examiner to reject claims 13-18 under 35 U.S.C. ' 103 is also           
         reversed.                                                               
                                   CONCLUSION                                    
              To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject               
         claims 2-11 and 13-20 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
