          Appeal No. 2002-2258                                                        
          Application No. 09/134,977                                                  


          in accordance with our previous discussion of these references              
          individually, that can be found among their collective teachings            
          and showings to have rendered obvious the subject matter of each            
          independent claim 15, 21 and 27 on appeal.  Thus, this rejection            
          as well is reversed.                                                        
               In summary, we have reversed each of the examiner’s stated             
          rejections of the claims on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 102 and                
          35 U.S.C. § 103.  Therefore, the decision of the examiner is                
          reversed.                                                                   
                                      REVERSED
