Appeal No. 2000-0967
Application 08/932,545
in the admitted prior art. The irregularities appear to be
undesired and are an inherent property of a mesh which would not
appear when the conductors are directly deposited onto a

In conclusion, we do not sustain the examiner’s rejection
of the claims on appeal. Therefore, the decision of the examiner
rejecting claims 1-17 is reversed.
