            Appeal No.  2004-0530                                                                             
            Application No. 09/696,557                                                                        
            attendant functions from the magnetic tape head assembly.  Nor has the Examiner                   
            established that the arrangement of the servo readers is a result effective variable, the         
            optimization of which is well within the ambit of one of ordinary skill in the art.               
                         CONCLUSION                                                                           
                   Based on our consideration of the totality of the record before us, we reverse the         
            rejections for the lack of the presentation of a prima facie case of anticipation and             
            obviousness.                                                                                      





















                                                     -6-
