Appeal No. 2002-2066 Application No. 09/288,504 obviousness. Accordingly, the 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of independent claims 1, 9,and 18, as well as claims 2-8, 10-17, and 19-26, is not sustained. In conclusion, we have not sustained the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of any of the claims on appeal. Therefore, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1-26 is reversed.
