              Appeal No. 2000-2116                                                                   Page 9                 
              Application No. 09/246,460                                                                                    


                     Dependent claim 81, which is dependent from claim 76, and dependent claims 99                          
              and 100, which are dependent from claim 88, stand rejected on the basis of Tobias and                         
              Parker, taken further with Clark, which was added for its teaching of using side sections to                  
              regulate flow.  Be that as it may, the teachings of Clark do not alleviate the shortcomings                   
              set forth above with regard to the rejection of independent claims 76 and 88.  This being                     
              the case, the Section 103 rejection of claims 81, 99 and 100 is not sustained.                                
                                                       SUMMARY                                                              
                     None of the rejections are sustained.                                                                  
                     The decision of the examiner is reversed.
