Appeal No. 2002-1670 Application 08/768,787 Accordingly, since we are of the opinion that the prior art applied by the Examiner does not support the obviousness rejection, we do not sustain the rejection of independent claims 1, 15, 32, and 35, nor of claims 2-4, 8-14, 16, 17, 20-28, 33, 34, and 36-39 dependent thereon. Therefore, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1-4, 8-17, 20-28, and 32-39 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is reversed. REVERSED KENNETH W.
