Appeal No. 2000-0965 Application No. 08/927,465 Accordingly, since we are of the opinion that the prior art applied by the Examiner does not support the obviousness rejection, we do not sustain the rejection of independent claim 1, nor of claims 4-11 and 17 dependent thereon. Therefore, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1, 4- 11, and 17 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed. REVERSED JERRY SMITH ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) BOARD OF PATENT JOSEPH F.
