OPINION
We have carefully reviewed the specification, claims and
applied prior art, including all of the arguments advanced by
the examiner and appellants in support of their respective
positions. This review leads us to conclude that the
examiner's § 103 rejection of claims 1-7, 9 and 11-22 over

Accordingly, we will sustain the examiner's rejections of
1All subsequent references in this opinion to Mohr are
references to the English language translation of the
