              Appeal No. 2000-2012                                                                                        
              Application No. 08/937,354                                                                                  


                     With respect to dependent claims 24-29, appellants rely on prior arguments                           
              generally at page 18 of the brief.  Since we found appellants' prior arguments                              
              unpersuasive with the exception of the determining step and the structure of the                            
              structure of the database, we do not find appellants’ general argument persuasive, and                      
              we will sustain the rejection of claims 24-29.                                                              


                                                    CONCLUSION                                                            
                     To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1-4, 20, 21 and 30 under                 
              35 U.S.C. § 102 is affirmed and the decision of the examiner to reject claims 14-19, 22, 23                 
              and 31 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 is reversed; the decision of the examiner to reject claims                     



















                                                             10
