          Appeal No. 2003-1291                                                        
          Application 09/468,698                                                      

          rejection of any of the claims which depend therefrom.  The sole            
          remaining independent claim 102 has the same recitation which has           
          been discussed above.  Therefore, we also do not sustain the                
          examiner’s rejection of independent claim 102 or of the claims              
          which depend therefrom for the same reasons discussed above with            
          respect to claims 68 and 85.                                                
          In summary, we have not sustained the examiner’s                            
          rejection with respect to any of the claims on appeal.                      
          Therefore, the decision of the examiner rejecting claims 63-66,             
          68-79, 81-96 and 98-117 is reversed.
