                                                 THE REJECTIONS

                                                                                          1 2                         
             in the alternative, under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious over Gladrow ‘818. ,                             
             Claim 19 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as anticipated by or, in the                           
             alternative, under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious over Gladrow ‘309.                                      
             Claims 11 through 18 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable                       
             over Gladrow ‘309 combined with Gladrow ‘818.                                                            
                                                  OPINION                                                             

                                      The Rejections under 35 U.S.C. § 103                                            

             We have carefully considered all of the arguments advanced by the appellant                              
             and the examiner and agree with the appellant that the rejections of claims 11                           
             through 18 under section 102(b) as anticipated by Gladrow ‘818 and the rejection                         
             of claim 19 over Gladrow ‘309 under section 103(a) are not well founded.                                 
             Accordingly, we reverse these rejections.  We agree with the examiner that the                           
             rejections of claims 11 through 18 under section 103(a) as being unpatentable over                       
             Gladrow ‘818 is well founded.  Accordingly, we affirm this rejection.

                    2
