                  Application No. 09/534,366                                                                                 

                                                         Summary                                                             
                         The examiner has not adequately shown that Liang ‘672 and Fislage                                   
                  would have suggested the method of claim 1 to those of ordinary skill in the art.                          
                  The other references cited by the examiner were relied on merely to meet                                   
                  limitations of the dependent claims.   The other references therefore do not                               
                  overcome the deficiency of the basic combination.  All of the rejections are                               
                  reversed.
