          Appeal No. 2003-1410                                                        
          Application 09/272,056                                                      


                    Therefore, on the basis of the weight of the arguments            
          and the lack of evidence persuading us of the anticipatory nature           
          of Sixtus as to each of the respective independent claims 1, 15,            
          26 and 38 on appeal, we reverse the rejection of all of these               
          claims and their respective dependent claims under 35 U.S.C.                
          § 102.  As such, the decision of the examiner is reversed.                  
                                      REVERSED
