          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.                                                                   
                                   REVERSED
