             Appeal No.  2004-1266                                                                              
             Application No. 09/997, 745                                                                        

             slug 34 extends” does not define an orifice track that has a flow passage that extends around      
             the perimeter of the orifice plate as required by the claimed invention.  The identified           
             element is an opening in the partition wall and does not extend around the perimeter of the        
             partition wall.                                                                                    
                   Thus, we reverse the rejection of claims 1 to 13 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as                 
             anticipated by Lee; and claim 14 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious over Lee.                     
























                                                      -5-
