              Appeal No. 2001-2395                                                                Page 2                
              Application No. 09/433,198                                                                                
                                                Representative Claim                                                    
                     Claim 13, which is illustrative of the subject matter on appeal, reads as follows:                 





















                                               The Prior Art Reference                                                  
                     In rejecting the appealed claims on prior art grounds, the examiner relies on the                  
              following reference:                                                                                      
              Müller et al. (Müller)             WO 91/03229                 Mar. 21, 19911                             





                     1   In evaluating the merits of this case, we have relied on a PTO translation of                  
              the Müller reference prepared in February 2000 (copy enclosed with this opinion).                         
              When we discuss specific passages or portions of the Müller reference, we shall refer                     
              to the pagination as it appears in the PTO translation.
