Appeal No. 2001-0848
Application 09/144,414
Since we have not sustained the rejection of independent
claims 1 and 8, we also do not sustain the rejection of claims 3,
4, 6, 10, 11 and 13 which depend therefrom. With respect to the
rejection of claims 2 and 9 based on Mahany and Blasbalg, since
Blasbalg does not overcome the deficiencies of Mahany discussed
above, we also do not sustain the rejection of claims 2 and 9.
In conclusion, we have not sustained either of the
examiner’s rejections of the claims on appeal. Therefore, the
decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1-4, 6, 8-11 and 13 is
reversed.
