          Application No. 09/029,581                                                  

               In summary, the anticipation rejection is reversed because             
          Brunner does not disclose “every limitation of the claimed                  
          invention, either explicitly or inherently.”  Glaxo Inc. v.

               The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1 through                
          8 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) is reversed.
