          Application No. 09/489,602                                                  

          In light of the foregoing, we will not sustain the                          
          examiner’s rejection of independent claims 1, 10, 17 and 22 under           
          35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Schmidt in view of            
          Bezin, or the rejection of dependent claims 4 through 9, 11                 
          through 16, 18 and 21 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) based on those               
          same references.  Thus, the decision of the examiner is reversed.           

                                   REVERSED
