OPINION
We have carefully considered the claims, the applied
prior art references, and the respective positions articulated
by the appellants and the examiner. As a consequence of our
review, we will reverse the obviousness rejection of claims 1
through 20 and 22 through 35 and affirm the obviousness
rejection of claim 36.
