          Appeal No. 2003-2169                                                        
          Application 09/792,667                                                      


          (request, page 2).  Likewise, one of ordinary skill in the art              
          would have known how to adjust Agahi’s plasma-enhanced chemical             
          vapor deposition and sputtering equipment such that the electric            
          fields are oriented so as to provide Agahi’s directional                    
          deposition predominately on horizontal surfaces (col. 7,                    
          lines 52-58).                                                               
               We have reconsidered our decision in response to the                   
          appellants request but, for the above reasons, we decline to make           
          any change to the decision.
