                 Application No. 10/463,751                                                                                                       

                         For the foregoing reasons and those stated in the Briefs, we determine that the                                          
                 Examiner's conclusion of obviousness is not supported by facts. "Where the legal                                                 
                 conclusion [of obviousness] is not supported by facts it cannot stand."  In re Warner,                                           
                 379 F.2d 1011, 1017, 154 USPQ 173, 178 (CCPA 1967).  Accordingly, the Examiner's                                                 
                 rejections of appealed claims 1 to 27 are reversed.
