          Appeal No. 2000-2184                                                         
          Application 08/629,626                                                       

          examiner’s rejection of independent claim 11.                                
          Since we have not sustained the examiner’s rejection of                      
          any of the independent claims, we also do not sustain the                    
          rejection of any of the claims which depend therefrom.  Although             
          appellant has separately argued many of the dependent claims on              
          appeal, there is no need to consider these separate arguments in             
          view of our decision with respect to the independent claims.                 
          In summary, the decision of the examiner rejecting claims                    
          1-26 and 30-32 is reversed.                                                  
          REVERSED
