                    Application No. 09/888,145                                                                                                                            

                    To summarize, we have sustained the examiner's rejection of                                                                                           
                    claims 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13 and 14 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a),                                                                                     
                    but not the rejection of claims 2, 5, 7, 9 and 12.  Thus, the                                                                                         
                    decision of the examiner is affirmed-in-part.                                                                                                         

                              No time period for taking any subsequent action in
