Application No. 10/058,200
have discussed above, the two hoppers depicted at section A of Figure 1 are
considered two processing stations.
In view of the foregoing, we will not sustain the rejection of claim 107, and claims
108, 109, 112, 113 dependent therefrom and claim 115 and claims 116 and 117
dependent therefrom.
In regard to the obviousness rejection, we note that the examiner has not
explained how the subject matter of claim 107 and 115 would have been obvious in
view of the disclosure of Reynolds, therefore, we will not sustain this rejection. We will
likewise not sustain the rejection as it is directed to claims 108, 109, 112, 113 depedent
on claim 107 and claims 116 and 117 dependent on claim 115.
In conclusion, we affirm the rejection as directed to claims 90 to 94, 98 to 101
and 104 to 106, and we reverse the rejection as directed to claims 95, 96, 107-109, 112,
113, 115 to 117.
