          Appeal No. 2001-2267                                                        
          Application 08/828,687                                                      


          invention is suggested by Carr taken alone.                                 
          We now consider the rejection of claims 2, 6 and 10 based on                
          the teachings of the admitted prior art, Carr and Bigus.  Since             
          Bigus does not overcome the deficiencies of the admitted prior              
          art, we do not sustain the rejection of these claims for the same           
          reasons discussed above.                                                    
          In summary, we have not sustained either of the examiner’s                  
          rejections of the claims on appeal.  Therefore, the decision of             
          the examiner rejecting claims 1-12 is reversed.                             
          REVERSED
