Appeal No. 1999-0085 Application No. 08/427,514 35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable over the teachings of Connor taken alone. Claims 6 and 12 respectively depend from claims 4 and 9. Since the examiner’s rejection of claims 6 and 12 does not address the deficiencies of Connor noted above, we do not sustain the examiner’s rejection of these claims. In summary, we have not sustained either of the examiner’s rejections of the appealed claims. Therefore, the decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1, 4-7 and 9-14 is reversed.
