              Appeal No. 2005-2695                                                                                      
              Application No. 10/280,926                                                                                


              Similarly, we do not find that the examiner has established a prima facie case of                         
              obviousness of dependent claims 16-18 for the reasons set forth above with respect to                     
              independent claim 7.                                                                                      

                                                    CONCLUSION                                                          

                     To summarize,  the decision of the examiner to reject claims 17-29 under 35                        
              U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph is affirmed, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 7-               
              12, 16-18 and 21-24 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph is affirmed, the decision                     
              of the examiner to reject claims 7-12 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 is reversed, and the                          
              decision of the examiner to reject claims 16-29 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.                        




















                                                          16
