          Appeal No. 2000-1654                                                        
          Application 09/097,860                                                      

          that the differences between the subject matter recited in claim            
          1 and the prior art are such that the subject matter as a whole             
          would have been obvious at the time the invention was made to a             
          person having ordinary skill in the art.  We shall therefore                
          sustain the standing 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of claim 1 and            
          of claims 2 through 23 which stand or fall therewith.                       
                                      SUMMARY                                         
               The decision of the examiner to reject claims 1 through 23             
          is affirmed.                                                                

















                                          8
