          Appeal No. 2001-1875                                                        
          Application No. 09/193,257                                                  


          As for the examiner's rejections of claims 2, 6, 8 and                      
          10, and claims 3 and 11 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a), we have                   
          reviewed the teachings of both Miller and Weingardt, but find               
          nothing in those references which provides for that which we                
          have found lacking in the basic combination to Wood and                     
          Scarne.  Accordingly, the examiner's rejections of dependent                
          claims 2, 3, 6, 8, 10 and 11 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) will not              
          be sustained.                                                               


          In light of the foregoing, the decision of the examiner                     
          is reversed.                                                                


                                      REVERSED
