          Appeal No. 1999-1763                                                        
          Application No. 08/834,931                                                  


          limitation that, if considered alone, would have been viewed                
          as non-statutory subject matter.                                            


               The decision of the examiner to reject claims 1 through 8              
          under 35 U.S.C. § 101 is reversed.                                          


                                     CONCLUSION                                       


               The rejection of claim 1 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as                   
          being anticipated by Price is affirmed.                                     


               The rejection of claims 2 through 8 under 35 U.S.C. §                  
          103(a) as being obvious over Price is reversed.                             


               The rejection of claims 1 through 8 under 35 U.S.C. § 101              
          as being drawn to non-statutory subject matter is reversed.
