                Application No. 09/931,358                                                                       

                                                  Conclusion                                                     
                       In summary, we sustain the examiner’s rejection of claims 1 through 9 under               
                35 U.S.C. § 102(e) and 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).  However, we do not sustain the examiner’s            
                rejection of claim 14 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) and 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).  The decision of          
                the examiner is affirmed in part.                                                                
                       No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal            
                may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a)(1)(iv).
