Appeal No. 2001-2625 Page 4
Application No. 09/458,052
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced
by the examiner and the appellants regarding the above-noted
rejections, we make reference to the final rejection and the
answer (Paper No. 17, mailed May 2, 2001) for the examiner's
complete reasoning in support of the rejections, and to the
brief (Paper No. 16, filed March 26, 2001) for the appellants'
arguments thereagainst.
OPINION
In reaching our decision in this appeal, we have given
careful consideration to the appellants' specification and
claims, to the applied prior art references, and to the
respective positions articulated by the appellants and the
examiner. As a consequence of our review, we make the
determinations which follow.

view of the appellants grouping of claims set forth on page 6
of the brief. Accordingly, we believe that the rejections of
the claims under appeal before us in this appeal are the
rejections set forth in the final rejection.
