               Appeal No. 2007-0421                                                                                                 
               Application No. 10/151,635                                                                                           

               has offered nothing to convince us otherwise.                                                                        
                       Since these features of the independent claim are not taught or suggested by the applied                     
               references, and the references (LoVasco, Walsh, and Foster) applied to dependent claims 25, 26,                      
               and 28-33 do not provide for the deficiencies of Yang and Allport, we will not sustain any of the                    
               rejections under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                                                                                    
                       Accordingly, the examiner’s decision rejecting claims 20-34 and 36 under 35 U.S.C.                           
               § 103 is reversed.                                                                                                   


























                                                                 7
