          Appeal No. 2002-2327                                                        
          Application No. 09/142,549                                                  

               In summary, 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, 3, 5, 7, and 9, nor of claims 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 11 dependent           
          thereon.  Therefore, the decision of the Examiner rejecting                 
          claims 1-11 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is reversed.
