Claims 22 through 41 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being obvious

the answer for the respective details thereof.
Opinion
We have carefully considered the subject matter on appeal, the rejection

stated infra we will not sustain the examiner’s rejection of claims 22 through 41 under
35 U.S.C. § 103.
