            Appeal No. 2005-1959                                                                       
            Application No. 09/729,394                                                                 

                  Last, the examiner adds Engel to the combination of Sansone                          
            and Walker to reject claims 6 and 16.  Engel fails to cure the                             
            deficiencies of Sansone and Walker described supra.  Therefore,                            
            we cannot sustain the rejection of claims 6 and 16.                                        

                                             CONCLUSION                                                
                  The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1, 3, 4, 10,                           
            14, and 15 under 102(b) and claims 2, 5 through 9, 12, 13, and 16                          
            through 18 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
