THE REJECTIONS
Claims 1, 3 and 4 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
being unpatentable over UK ‘000.2
Claim 2 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being

Rather than attempt to reiterate the examiner’s full
commentary with regard to the above-noted rejection and the
2We note that there is no proper antecedent for “said
