              Appeal No. 2006-0562                                                                                      
              Application No. 09/952,588                                                                                


                     With respect to dependent claim 57, appellants argue that Notani does not teach                    
              or suggest the controlling as argued and that therefore all of the limitations are not                    
              found in the prior art.  As above, we disagree with appellants, and will sustain the                      
              rejection of dependent claim 57.                                                                          




                                                    CONCLUSION                                                          
                     To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 39, 40, 45, 55, and                    
              56 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 is AFFIRMED, and the decision of the examiner to reject                          
              claims 39-52 and 57 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is AFFIRMED.                                                    


















                                                          12
