                  Application No. 10/139,397                                                                                                              


                            For the foregoing reasons, we determine that the Examiner's conclusion of                                                     
                   obviousness is not supported by facts.  Accordingly, the Examiner's rejections of the                                                  
                   appealed claims are reversed.
