            Application 09/993,277

        2   (FF 06).                                                                                          
        3       From the above conclusions we are not convinced of reversible error on the                    
        4   part of the Examiner.  Accordingly we sustain the Examiner's rejection of claims                  
        5 1-20 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious over Miloslavsky and Tarbotton.5

        8       To summarize, our decision is as follows:                                                     
        9       • The rejection of claims 1-20 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious over                       
       10          Miloslavsky and Tarbotton is sustained.
