         Appeal No. 2006-1729                                                       
         Application No. 10/107,628                                                 
         therefore our view, after consideration of the record before us,           
         that the evidence relied upon and the level of skill in the                
         particular art would have not suggested to the ordinarily skilled          
         artisan the invention as set forth in claims 1 through 21.                 
         Accordingly, we will not sustain the Examiner’s rejection of               
         claims 1 through 21 under U.S.C. § 103.                                    
                                                                                   
                                       CONCLUSION                                   
              In view of the foregoing discussion, we have sustained the            
         Examiner’s decision rejecting claims 1, 6, 11, 15, 22, 24 through          
         26 and 28 through 34 under 35 U.S.C. § 102.  We have not                   
         sustained the Examiner’s rejection of claims 1 through 21 under            
         U.S.C. § 103.  Therefore, we affirm in part.
