          Appeal No. 2001-2139                                                        
          Application 09/189,643                                                      


               This application is remanded to the examiner to consider               
          whether the combined teachings of Carroll and the Huffman                   
          patent cited by the appellants would have suggested the                     
          subject matter recited in the appealed claims, thereby                      
          warranting an appropriate rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).               
















                                      SUMMARY                                         
              The decision of the examiner to reject claims 6 through 10              
         is reversed and the application is remanded to the examiner for              
         further consideration.                                                       
                               REVERSED and REMANDED                                  





                                          6
