Appeal No. 1998-2504 Application No. 08/664,279 suggested by the applied prior art, we will not sustain the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of independent claim 1 and of dependent claims 2-9. Independent claims 10, 22, 31, and 38 contain similar limitations as discussed above, therefore we cannot sustain the rejection thereof nor the rejection of their dependent claims 11-21,23-28, 33-37, and 39-44. CONCLUSION To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1-28, 31 and 33-44 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed. REVERSED KENNETH W.
