         Appeal Number: 2006-1059                                                   
         Application Number: 09/780,603                                             
                                                                                   
         As for the rejection of claims 4 and 5 under 35 U.S.C.                     
         103(a) based on Miles in view of Bonzer and Block, taken further           
         in view of Doyle, we agree with appellant’s assessment set forth           
         in the brief (pages 8-9).  Simply stated, there is nothing in              
         Doyle that provides for or otherwise overcomes the deficiencies            
         noted above in the basic combination to Miles, Bonzer and Block.           
         Thus, we will not sustain the examiner’s rejection of dependent            
         claims 4 and 5 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).
