          Appeal No. 2004-1206                                                        
          Application No. 09/826,473                                                  

          totality of the record, including due consideration of                      
          appellants’ arguments, we determine that the preponderance of               
          evidence weighs most heavily in favor of obviousness within the             
          meaning of section 103(a).  Accordingly, we affirm both                     
          rejections on appeal based on section 103(a).                               
               D.  Summary                                                            
               The rejection of claims 16 and 21 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b)             
          over Wolfe is affirmed.  The rejection of claims 16 and 18-25               
          under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) over Gerstner is affirmed.                         
               The rejection of claim 17 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) over                
          Gerstner in view of Akao is affirmed.  The rejection of claim 26            
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) over Gerstner in view of Agostini is               
          affirmed.                                                                   
















                                         10
