               Application No.  09/946,874                                                                                          
                                                                                                                                   
               not asserted and we do not find that Stokes teaches this feature.  Accordingly, we                                   
               will not sustain the examiner’s rejection of claims 10 through 13, 24 through 27 and                                 
               38 through 41.                                                                                                       
                       In summary, we will not sustain the examiner’s rejections of claims 1 through                                
               9, 14 through 23, 28 through 37 and 42 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 or the examiner’s
