              Application No. 09/385,412                                                                                 

                                                       Summary                                                           
                     The references cited by the examiner would have reasonably suggested the                            
              invention of claim 1 to a person of ordinary skill in the art.  The rejection of claim 1 is                
              affirmed.  Claims 2-29 fall with claim 1.                                                                  


                     No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal                      
              may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
