Appeal No. 95-1296 Application 08/073,257 relationship between these values and the tolerance value are not suggested by Fitzgerald for the same reasons discussed above with respect to the linking step. Therefore, we do not sustain the rejection of claims 21, 16 and 22-26. With respect to independent claim 29, the same linking features as discussed above are recited. Therefore, we also do not sustain the rejection of claims 29-33. In summary, the decision of the examiner rejecting claims 10, 12-16, 21-26 and 29-33 is reversed. REVERSED ) ERROL A.
