Accordingly, the rejection of claim 30 and 48 under 35 U.S.C. ' 103 is reversed.
SUMMARY
On consideration of the record, for the reasons discussed above, we reverse the
rejections of the claims for indefiniteness and lack of written description. In addition, we
reverse the rejections of the claims for obviousness over Pandit, Grose, Stewart,
Greene and Verheyden, and for anticipation by Hannah. Regarding the rejection for
anticipation by Pandit, we reverse the rejection with respect to claim 45, but affirm the
rejection with respect to claim 32. As the result of our action today, claims 30, 33, 45,
46, 48, 59, 60 and 61 are free of rejection.

may be extended under 37 CFR ' 1.136(a).
