THE REJECTIONS
The claims stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
follows: claims 1-12 and 15-19 over Phillion, Rajeswari, CA
‘979 or CA ‘801, and claims 21-37 over Gizycki in view of
Jacobs.1,2
1Claims 29 and 30, which depend indirectly from claim 1,
should have been included in the rejections of that
