Appeal No. 2004-2173
Application No. 09/970353
overcomes or provides for the deficiencies we have identified
above with regard to the basic combination of prior art
references applied against independent claims 1, 6 and 26.
Accordingly, the examiner's rejection of dependent claims 3, 4,
22, 24 and 25 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) will likewise not be
sustained.
In light of the foregoing, the decision of the examiner to
reject claims 1 through 14 and 19 through 26 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103(a) is reversed.
