Appeal No. 1998-2569 Application No. 08/517,132 updated conditions with initial start data. In our opinion, even assuming arguendo the feasibility of combining the teachings of Susman and Hamada, the resulting combination would fall well short of meeting or suggesting the requirements of the claims on appeal. In conclusion, we have not sustained either of the Examiner’s rejections of the claims on appeal. Accordingly, the Examiner’s decision rejecting claims 1-16 is reversed. REVERSED MICHAEL R.
