         Appeal No. 2004-0858                                                       
         Application No. 09/747,709                                                 


              We further note that our decision herein with regard to               
         independent claim 19 may appear to be somewhat inconsistent with           
         our decision of July 23, 2004, in Application Serial No.                   
         08/882,381, Appeal No. 2003-1584, with regard to claims having             
         similar limitations.  However, that perceived inconsistency stems          
         not from an inconsistency of thinking on our part but, rather              
         from a failure on the part of appellants to specifically argue             
         the “measuring the time...” limitation in Appeal No. 2003-1584.            
              Since we have not sustained the rejection of the independent          
         claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103, we also will not sustain the                 
         rejection of claims 2-4, 7-10, 13, 14, 16, 17, 20, 21, 23 and 24           
         under 35 U.S.C. § 103 since neither Park nor Hollier provides for          
         the deficiencies of Vahatalo.
