incapacitated." Neither Finnern nor Eylander teach or suggest
these aspects of appellants' claimed subject matter.
Accordingly, we will not sustain the examiner's rejection of
dependent claims 2 through 6 and 22 through 24 under 35 U.S.C.

To summarize our decision, we note that 1) the examiner's
rejection of claims 1 through 7 and 21 through 25 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 112, second paragraph, has not been sustained, 2) the
examiner's rejection of claims 1 and 21 under § 103(a) as being
obvious over Finnern has not been sustained, and 3) the
examiner's rejection of claims 2 through 6 and 22 through 24
under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) based on Finnern and Eylander has not
been sustained.
