          Appeal No. 2005-0097                                                        
          Application No. 09/645,172                                                  

          III. The 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejections of claims 5 and 24 as                
          being unpatentable over Ubillos in view of Rosenberg and                    
          Kinoshita, and of claims 6 and 25 as being unpatentable over                
          Ubillos in view of Rosenberg, Kinoshita and Goldberg                        
               As Kinoshita and Goldberg, considered either individually or           
          in combination, do not cure the above noted shortcomings of                 
          Ubillos and Rosenberg with respect to parent claims 2 and 21, we            
          shall not sustain the standing 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of              
          dependent claims 5 and 24 as being unpatentable over Ubillos in             
          view of Rosenberg and Kinoshita, or the standing 35 U.S.C.                  
          § 103(a) rejection of dependent claims 6 and 25 as being                    
          unpatentable over Ubillos in view of Rosenberg, Kinoshita and               
          Goldberg.                                                                   
                                      SUMMARY                                         
               The decision of the examiner to reject claims 2 through 6, 9           
          through 13, 21 through 25, 28 through 32, 39 and 40 is reversed.
