                        Horvitz   US 6,067,565        May 23, 2000                                                     
                                                                                     (Filed Jan. 15, 1998)             
                        Kulkarni   US 6,310,630 B1        Oct. 30, 2001                                                
                                                                                    (Filed Dec. 12, 1997)              
                        Claims 1 through 14 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  As                                  
                 evidence of obviousness, the Examiner relies upon Horvitz in view of                                  
                 Kulkarni.                                                                                             
                        Rather than repeat the positions of the Appellants and the Examiner,                           
                 reference is made to the Brief and Reply Brief for Appellants’ positions, and                         
                 to the Answer for the Examiner’s positions.
