                Appeal No. 2005-0116                                                                                                       
                Application No. 10/109,390                                                                                                 

                independent claim 6 and dependent claims 7-9.  Nor do we find that the teachings of                                        
                Merrill remedy the noted deficiencies of the above combination.  Therefore, we cannot                                      
                sustain the rejection of claims 6-10.                                                                                      
                                                            CONCLUSION                                                                     
                        To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 3-10 under                                             
                35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed, and the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1 and 2                                     
                under 35 U.S.C. § 102 is reversed
