              Appeal No. 2003-2056                                                                  Page 7                
              Application No. 09/377,442                                                                                  


                     Claim 13, which depends from claim 1 through claims 5 and 2, stands rejected                         
              on the basis of Esposto and Miyasaka, taken further in view of Watt, which the                              
              examiner applied for teaching coupling heat pipes to one another by means of a flange                       
              type interface.  Be that as it may, Watt does not alleviate the problems we pointed out                     
              above regarding claim 1, and therefore this rejection is not sustained.                                     





















                                                     CONCLUSION                                                           
                     Neither rejection is sustained.                                                                      
                     The decision of the examiner is reversed.
