                                    CONCLUSION                                                      
              To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims                           
         1-6 and 8-10 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.  In addition, we                           
         enter a New Ground of Rejection of claims 1 and 9 under 35 U.S.C.                          
         § 102(b) as being anticipated by James, or in the alternative                              
         under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over James, under                           
         the provisions of 37 CFR § 41.50(b).                                                       
              This decision contains a New Ground of Rejection pursuant to                          
         37 CFR § 41.50(b) (effective September 13, 2004).  37 CFR                                  
         § 41.50(b) provides "[a] new ground of rejection pursuant to this                          
         paragraph shall not be considered final for judicial review."
