          Appeal No. 2005-0786                                                             
          Application No. 09/832,168                                                       

                Furthermore, King does not remedy the deficiencies of the                  
          primary reference since, like Gauthier, King appears to be                       
          limited to a system having three-way valves, each configured to                  
          have two inputs but only one output, and a controller to                         
          alternatively direct a feed stream or a purge fluid through the                  
          valves (which can be either fully open or fully closed) to a                     
          processing chamber, e.g., a powder form evaporator.                              
                For the foregoing reasons, the decision of the examiner is                 
          reversed.
