          Appeal No. 2003-0994                                                        
          Application No. 08/579,544                                                  

          instances of an object" [answer, page 9].  The Corradi reference            
          in combination with the Travis and Huang fails to cure the                  
          deficiencies of Travis and Huang noted above with respect to                
          claim 16.  Therefore, we will not sustain the Examiner's                    
          rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) for the same reasons as set              
          forth above.                                                                

                                     Conclusion                                       
          In view of the foregoing discussion, we have not sustained                  
          the rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103 of claims 16-22 and 38-63.
