          Appeal No. 2002-0209                                                        
          Application 09/299,452                                                      

          we must refuse to sustain the examiner’s rejection of those claims          
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).  It follows that the examiner’s rejection         
          of dependent claims 2 through 4, 6 and 7 will likewise not be               
          sustained.                                                                  

          Accordingly, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1                
          through 7 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is reversed.                             

                                        REVERSED
