          Appeal No. 2005-0988                                                        
          Application 09/878,592                                                      

          In light of the foregoing, the examiner’s rejection of claim                
          21 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is sustained.  Given appellant’s                
          grouping of claims noted on page 4 of the brief, it follows that            
          claims 11, 20 and 22 will fall with claim 21, and that the                  
          examiner’s rejection of those claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is            
          also sustained.                                                             

          Thus, the decision of the examiner rejecting claims 11, 20,                 
          21 and 22 of the present application is affirmed.
