          Appeal No. 2005-1680                                                        
          Application No. 10/012,079                                                  

          problems addressed by Suitor do not appear to be reasonably                 
          pertinent to the objective of attaining a uniform metallic                  
          plating layer on the surface of a substrate, and the examiner has           
          failed to convince us otherwise.                                            
               None of the other references relied upon by the examiner               
          cure the deficiency in the examiner's case which we have                    
          discussed above.  Accordingly, the decision of the examiner is              
          reversed.
