           1           G.  Conclusions of law                                                                    
           2           Esser has sustained its burden on appeal of showing that the Examiner                     
           3    erred in rejecting Esser claims 73-75, 77-79 and 81 as being unpatentable                        
           4    under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) over Stähle.                                                            
           5           On the record before us, Esser is not entitled to a patent containing                     
           6    Esser claims 26 and 73-81.                                                                       
           7           Esser claims 26 and 73-81 are unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103                          
           8    over Olson.                                                                                      
           9           Esser claims 73-81 are unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over York.                      
          10           Esser claims 74-76 and 79-80 are unpatentable under the fourth                            
          11    paragraph of 35 U.S.C. § 112.                                                                    
          12
