Decision on Appeal and Opinion
We have carefully considered the record in this appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134, including
the opposing views of the examiner, in the answer, and appellants, in the brief, and based on our
review, find that we cannot sustain either of the rejections of appealed claims 1 through 7 and 10
through 12,1 all of the claims in the application, under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable
