           Appeal No. 2002-1639                                                                      
           Application No. 09/126,817                                                                


                 In summary, we have not sustained either of the Examiner’s                          
           35 U.S.C. § 102(b) or 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejections of the claims                         
           on appeal.  Therefore, the decision of the Examiner rejecting                             
           claims 1-17 is reversed.                                                                  


                                         REVERSED
