          Appeal No. 2006-0362                                                                        
          Application No. 09/455,201                                                                  

          over Hodge in view of Dureau and Gratacap.  We reverse the                                  
          rejection of claims 3, 4, 8, 12, 16, 17, 21 and 25 as Gratacap                              
          fails to make up for the deficiencies of the basic combination                              
          of Hodge and Dureau.                                                                        
               We turn next to the rejection of claims 5, 9, 13, 18, 22                               
          and 26 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Hodge                            
          in view of Dureau and Wang.  We reverse the rejection of claims                             
          5, 9, 13, 18, 22 and 26 as Wang fails to make up for the                                    
          deficiencies of the basic combination of Hodge and Dureau.
