          Appeal No. 2000-1993                                       Page 7           
          Application No. 09/157,130                                                  


          . . . about the claimed invention and cast the mind back to                 
          the time the invention was made . . . to occupy the mind of                 
          one skilled in the art who is presented only with the                       
          references, and who is normally guided by the then-accepted                 
          wisdom in the art."  Id.  Since the subject matter of the                   
          claims under appeal is not taught or suggested by the applied               
          prior art for the reasons set forth above, we will not sustain              
          the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of claims 1, 4 to 6, 9 and 12 to              
          14.                                                                         


                                     CONCLUSION
