          Appeal No. 2005-0983                                                        
          Application 09/923,675                                                      
          suggested any modification of Holmes to the artisan that would              
          have resulted in the instant claimed subject matter.                        

               We do not find any one of the three applied references, or             
          any combination thereof, to have suggested the instant claimed              
          invention.                                                                  

               Accordingly, we will not sustain the rejection of claims 1-7           
          under 35 U.S.C. §103.                                                       

               The examiner’s decision is reversed.
