          Appeal No. 2003-1401                                                        
          Application No. 08/814,401                                                  


               Irrespective of the soundness of applying the teaching of              
          Maguire to Forman and the teaching of Imran to Narula, the                  
          Maguire and Imran disclosures do not overcome the deficiencies              
          noted, supra, relative to each of Forman and Narula.  It is for             
          this reason that the obviousness rejections are not well founded.           


               In summary, this panel of the Board has not sustained any of           
          the anticipation and obviousness rejections on appeal.                      


               The decision of the examiner is reversed.
