               Appeal No. 2004-0107                                                                         Page 10                   
               Application No. 09/963,122                                                                                             


                       Claim 23 stands rejected on the same grounds as claim 20, from which it                                        
               depends.  This claim adds pores to the rubber layer recited in claim 23, and the                                       
               examiner’s position is the same as was expressed in the rejection of claim 15.  For the                                
               same reasons as were expressed above with regard to claims 15 and 20, we will not                                      
               sustain this rejection of claim 23.                                                                                    


















                                                          CONCLUSION                                                                  
                       None of the rejections is sustained.                                                                           
                       The decision of the examiner is reversed.
