          Appeal No. 2002-1301                                                        
          Application No. 09/233,983                                                  


          We will not sustain the examiner’s rejection of claim 21,                   
          for essentially the reasons argued by appellant in the brief.  We           
          agree with appellant that there is no suggestion in either                  
          reference of measuring the slew rate of the transducer unit for             
          reasons discussed above.                                                    
          In summary, we have not sustained either of the                             
          examiner’s rejections of the claims on appeal.  Accordingly, the            
          decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1-14 and 20-24 is                 
          reversed.
