                          DECISION ON REQUEST FOR REHEARING                           
               Appellant requests rehearing of our decision of May 14,                
          2003, wherein we affirmed the examiner’s rejections of all of the           
          appealed claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                                      
               We have thoroughly reviewed each of appellant’s arguments              
          set forth in their request.  However, we find that our decision             
          is free of factual and legal error, and we remain of the opinion            
          that the claimed subject matter would have been obvious to one of
