OPINION
We have considered the rejections advanced by the Examiner
and the supporting arguments. We have, likewise, reviewed the
Appellants’ arguments set forth in the brief.
We affirm.
At the outset, we note that Appellants state (brief at
page 11) that independent claims 1, 9, 37, 38 and 42 are
separately patentable. Of these elected claims, claims 9, 37
and 38 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102 and claims 1 and 42 are
rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
