Claims 1, 4-9, and 12-16 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 as obvious over Francisco in view of Griswold. Rather
than repeat the arguments of the appellants or examiner in
toto, we refer the reader to the briefs and answers for the
respective details thereof.
OPINION
In reaching our decision in this appeal, we considered
the subject matter on appeal and the rejection advanced by
the examiner. Furthermore, we duly considered the arguments
and evidence of the appellants and examiner. After
considering the totality of the record, we are persuaded that
the examiner erred in rejecting claims 1, 4-9, and 12-16.
Accordingly, we reverse.
