                        Smith   US 6,084,951    Jul.  4, 2000                                                        
                                                                  (Filed April 23, 1997)

                                                                    (Filed February 23, 2000)                        
                        Claims 10 through 15 and 19 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                            
                 As evidence of obviousness, the Examiner relies upon Smith in view of                               
                 Suso.                                                                                               
                        Rather than repeat the positions of the Appellant and the Examiner,                          
                 reference is made to the Brief and Reply Brief for the Appellant’s positions,                       
                 and to the Answer for the Examiner’s positions.
