Appeal No. 2001-0659 Application 08/935,368 Because we find that Mori does not disclose the limitations of a plugging material forming an air-tight cavity and the membrane acts against the air-cushion effect of the air-tight cavity, the anticipation rejection of claim 1 is reversed. The rejection of claims 2 and 3, which depend from claim 1, are also reversed. REVERSED LEE E. BARRETT ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) BOARD OF PATENT MICHAEL R.
