          Appeal No. 2005-0141                                                        
          Application No. 09/656,683                                                  

          member segments to one having ordinary skill in the art.  Thus,             
          the rejection of claim 4 is not sound and cannot be sustained.              

               In summary, this panel of the Board has not sustained any of           
          the examiner’s respective obviousness rejections of appellant’s             
          claims.                                                                     

               The decision of the examiner is reversed.
