          Appeal No. 2003-0407                                                        
          Application No. 09/550,503                                                  


               In our view, the examiner's position emanates from the                 
          impermissible obvious to try approach.                                      
               In conclusion, based on the foregoing, the examiner's                  
          decision rejecting the appealed claims is reversed.                         
                                      REVERSED
