         Appeal No. 2006-0126                                                       
         Application No. 10/140,619                                                 
         output is based.  Because the change in light intensity is a               
         control variable, Kojima ‘546 would have fairly suggested, to one          
         of ordinary skill in the art, displaying the corresponding change          
         in ultraviolet light output to permit monitoring the adequacy of           
         the control.                                                               
              For the above reasons we are not persuaded of reversible error        
         in the examiner’s rejection.                                               
                                       DECISION                                     
              The rejection of claims 1-5 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over the            
         appellants’ admitted prior art in view of Kojima ‘546) is affirmed.
