          communication path, a suggestion of this claim limitation is                 

          absent from the examiner’s rationale and the rejection under                 
          35 U.S.C. 103 must fall.                                                     
               The examiner’s decision rejecting claims 1-3, 7-11 and 15-18            
          under 35 U.S.C. 103 is reversed.
