            Application No. 10/310,886                                                                      


            point out where the applied references teach or suggest hot-melt equipment.  Upon               
            return of jurisdiction of the application to the primary examiner, if the examiner              
            remains of the view that these claims are unpatentable over Whitmore in view of                 
            Scherer, the examiner may consider reinstating the rejection of these claims, with              
            the appropriate authorization, specifically pointing out where the features of these            
            claims are taught or suggested in the references.                                               

                                              CONCLUSION                                                    
                   To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1-36 is affirmed             
            as to claims 1-8 and reversed as to claims 9-36.  The examiner’s decision is                    
            AFFIRMED-IN-PART.
