            Appeal No. 2001-0910                                                                       
            Application No. 08/903,756                                                                 

            DeSimone as discussed supra.  Further, since the Examiner                                  
            has, in our view, improperly interpreted the disclosure of                                 
            DeSimone, the issue of the obviousness of these features has not                           
            been addressed.                                                                            
                  In summary, we have not sustained the Examiner’s rejections                          
            of any of the claims on appeal.  Therefore, the decision of the                            
            Examiner rejecting claims 1-23 is reversed.                                                


                                              REVERSED
