ON BRIEF

Before THOMAS, HAIRSTON, and LEVY, Administrative Patent Judges.
THOMAS, Administrative Patent Judge.
ON REQUEST FOR REHEARING
In a paper bearing a Certificate of Mailing of September 30,
2003, appellant requests that we rehear our decision mailed on
July 31, 2003, in which we affirmed the examiner's rejection of
claims 1-16 under 35 U.S.C. § 103. Inasmuch as we agree with
some of the positions set forth by appellant in the Request for
Rehearing, our original decision to affirm the examiner's
rejection of the claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is hereby changed,
such that now we reverse that rejection.
