         Appeal No. 2004-2297                                      Page 12          
         Application No. 10/196,817                                                 

         obviousness of claims 4 and 11.  The rejection of claims 4 and 11          
         under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is therefore reversed.                            

                                     CONCLUSION                                     
              To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims           
         4 and 11 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is reversed.
