          Appeal No. 2000-2041                                                        
          Application 09/014,148                                                      

          system can be modified but instead the question is whether Li               
          teaches these limitations or is inherent in the reference.  We              
          find that these limitation are not taught by or inherent in Li.             
               In view of the foregoing, we will not sustain the Examiner’s           
          rejection of claims 1 through 7 under 35 U.S.C. § 102.                      
               Therefore, the Examiner’s decision is reversed.                        
                                      REVERSED
