Decision on Appeal and Opinion
We have carefully considered the record in this appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134, including
the opposing views of the examiner, in the answer, and appellant, in the brief and reply brief, and
based on our review, find that we cannot sustain the grounds of rejection advanced by the
examiner on appeal: claims 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9 and 10 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as
being unpatentable over Douglas in view of Baldwin; claims 3 and 8 stand rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Douglas in view of Baldwin as applied to claims 1
and 7 above, and further in view of Graf; and claims 6 and 11 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103(a) as being unpatentable over Douglas in view of Baldwin as applied to claims 1 and 7
