          Appeal No. 2003-0485                                                        
          Application 08/767,249                                                      


          Given our above-noted determination regarding the                           
          shortcomings of Fabel, and the lack of any further teaching or              
          suggestion in either Frease or Linden supplying such                        
          deficiencies, it follows that the examiner’s rejections of                  
          dependent claims 20 through 22, 24 and 25 under 35 U.S.C.                   
          § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Fabel in view of Linden, of             
          claim 19 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) based on Fabel and Frease, and            
          the rejection of claim 23 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) based on                 
          Fabel, Linden and Frease, also will not be sustained.                       






















                                          7
