          Appeal No. 2003-0599                                                        
          Application 09/362,149                                                      

          24 obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of               
          appellants’ invention, we must refuse to sustain the examiner’s             
          rejection of those claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).                         
          In summary, since we have refused to sustain any of the                     
          rejections before us on appeal, it follows that the decision of             
          the examiner rejecting claims 2 through 14, 16 through 24, 26               
          and 27 of the present application is reversed.
