Appeal No. 2002-1044 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 missing piece. Therefore, we will not sustain these rejections for the same reasons as stated above. In view of the foregoing, we have not sustained the Examiner’s rejections of claims 10-13, 15, 20-22, 24 and 25 under 35 U.S.C. § 103. REVERSED LEE E.
