         Appeal No. 2004-1287                                                       
         Application 09/211,410                                        Page 9       


         appellants have specified that all of the appealed claims stand or         
         fall together and do not argue the additional features set forth in        
         any of dependent claims 11, 12 or 13 as patentably distinguishing          
         over the applied references.  Consequently, we shall also affirm the       
         § 103(a) rejection of claims 11-13 on this record.                         


                                      CONCLUSION                                    
              The decision of the examiner to reject claims 3, 6-10, 14 and         
         16-21 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Visser in        
         view of Law and to reject claims 11-13 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as         
         being unpatentable over Visser in view of Law and Fitzgerald is            
         affirmed.
