             Appeal No. 2005-2569                                                                                     
             Application No. 10/200,828                                                                               


                    With respect to independent claim 20, appellant argues that appellant argues that                 
             appellant “can not find [in, sic]  the Bishop and/or Benavides” a floor tile supporting the              
             enclosure that includes a plurality of fans.  (Brief at page 11.)  As discussed above with               
             respect to claims 6 and 16, we agree with appellant and do not find that the examiner                    
             has established a prima facie case of obviousness, and we cannot sustain the rejection                   
             of claim 20.                                                                                             
                                                   CONCLUSION                                                         
                    To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1-3, 10-12, 14, 15,                   
             and 19 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed, and the decision of the examiner to reject                     
             claims 6-9, 16-18 and 20 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.                                              


















                                                          9
