                WARREN, Administrative Patent Judge.

                      We have carefully considered the record in this appeal under                           
                35 U.S.C. § 134, and based on our review, find that we cannot sustain the                    
                grounds of rejection of appealed claims 2 through 8 and 18 through 21, all of                
                the claims in the application, under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) (2002) as being                      
                anticipated by Dontula ‘976 and by Dontula ‘656 (Answer 3-6).
