                Appeal No. 2002-1486                                                                                                    
                Application 08/931,480                                                                                                  

                (Fed. Cir. 1995). For reasons discussed above, the examiner has not demonstrated that the                               
                Elliott reference discloses each element or limitation of any rejected claim.  Consequently, the                        
                rejection of claims 1-32 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as being anticipated by Elliott is without merit                      
                and cannot be sustained.                                                                                                
                                                             Conclusion                                                                 
                        The rejection of claims 1-32 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as being anticipated by Elliott is                        
                reversed.
