                  Application No. 09/017,096                                                                                                              

                           For the rejection of the dependent claims 12, 13, 15, 21, 22, 24 and 25 under   35                                             
                  U.S.C. §  103, we note that the Examiner relies on Des Jardins for the above limitations                                                
                  of these rejections as well.  Furthermore, we fail to find that the cited art supplies this
