          Appeal No. 2004-1417                                                        
          Application 09/365,784                                                      

          Although claims 2 and 3 are separately argued by                            
          appellants, these claims depend from claim 1 and, therefore,                
          incorporate all the limitations of claim 1.  Accordingly, we also           
          do not sustain the examiner’s rejection of claims 2 and 3 for               
          reasons discussed above.                                                    
          In summary, we have not sustained the examiner’s                            
          rejection of any of the claims on appeal.  Therefore, the                   
          decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1-12 is reversed.                 
          REVERSED
