Appeal No. 96-3998 Application No. 08/344,397 Since, for all of the reasons discussed above, we are of the view that the prior art applied by the Examiner does not support the rejection, we do not sustain the rejection of independent claim 16. Therefore, we also do not sustain the rejection of dependent claims 18, 20-24, and 28. In conclusion, we have not sustained the Examiner’s rejection of any of the claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103. Accordingly, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 16, 18, 20-24, and 28 is reversed. REVERSED KENNETH W.
