Appeal No. 97-1625 Application No. 08/415,900 with respect to the subject matter of independent claims 8 and 25 and, it follows, dependent claims 9-11, 23, 24 and 26-28. We will not sustain this rejection. The teachings of Gates do not cure this deficiency, and therefore we also will not sustain the rejection of dependent claims 12 and 29-31. Neither of the rejections is sustained. The decision of the examiner is reversed. 6Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
