Appeal No. 2001-0680 Application No. 09/141,637 In light of the foregoing, the examiner’s rejection of claim 9 as being unpatentable over Hawkins in view of Ritter and Moore cannot be sustained. Concerning the rejection of claims 1, 3 and 4 further in view of Luders, and the rejection of claim 8 further in view of Luders and Klinger, these additional references have been applied for reasons other than for the deficiencies attributed to Hawkins discussed above. For this reason, the rejections of these claims also cannot be sustained. The decision of the examiner is reversed.
