          Appeal No. 2002-0998                                                        
          Application 09/296,139                                                      


          supply that which we have indicated to be lacking in the basic              
          combination of Sabo and McGouran.  Thus, the examiner’s                     
          additional rejection of dependent claims 8, 16 and 17 under                 
          35 U.S.C. § 103(a) will also not be sustained.                              


          In view of the foregoing, the examiner's decision rejecting                 
          claims 1 through 3, 5 through 14, 16 and 17 of the present patent           
          application under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is reversed.                           


                                        REVERSED
