          Application No. 10/856,225                                                                           
                                    § 103(a) Rejection                                                         
                Concerning the examiner’s separate obviousness rejection of                                    
          claims 7, 8, 12, 15, and 18, appellants argue these claims                                           
          together on the basis of the arguments made against the                                              
          examiner’s anticipation rejection without otherwise challenging                                      
          the examiner’s obviousness position as to any particular one of                                      
          rejected claims 7, 8, 12, 15, and 18.  We select claim 7 as the                                      
          representative claim and we affirm for reasons set forth above                                       
          and in the answer.                                                                                   
                                         CONCLUSION                                                            
                The decision of the examiner to reject claims 1-6, 9-11, 13,                                   
          14, 16, and 17 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being anticipated by                                      
          Iversen; and to reject claims 7, 8, 12, 15, and 18 under 35                                          
          U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Iversen is affirmed.
