                  Application No. 09/601,884                                                                                                              


                           Parikh has been combined with Lachmann to reject dependent claim 6.                                                            
                  Lachmann does not overcome the aforementioned problems with Parikh, and this                                                            
                  rejection also is not sustained.                                                                                                        
                           We reach the same conclusion, for the same reason, with regard to dependent                                                    
                  claim 11, where Healey has been combined with Parikh.                                                                                   
                                                                  CONCLUSION                                                                              
                           None of the rejections is sustained.                                                                                           
                           The decision of the examiner is reversed.
