          Appeal No. 2006-0294                                                        
          Application No. 09/953,030                                                  

          density foam of Thomas.  The examiner has not provided any                  
          factual basis for concluding that a gel-like material would                 
          include high density foam.  Also, the examiner has failed to make           
          any correlation between the high density foam material of Thomas            
          and the gel-like material of the present invention which,                   
          according to the supporting specification, should be a viscous              
          material.  Nor has the examiner presented any line of reasoning             
          why it would have been obvious for one of ordinary skill in the             
          art to replace the high density foam of Thomas with a gel-like              
          material.
