                 Application 09/993,320

                 without administrator intervention.                                                                


                                            CONCLUSION OF LAW                                                       
                       With respect to independent claim 27, as well as claims 28, 29, 32,                          
                 75-77, 79, and 80 not separately argued by Appellants, the Examiner has                            
                 established a prima facie case of anticipation based on the teachings of Ha                        
                 which has not been overcome by any convincing arguments from                                       
                 Appellants.  A prima facie case of obviousness which has not been                                  
                 successfully rebutted by Appellants has also been established by the                               
                 Examiner with respect to appealed claims 1-26, 30, 31, 33-40, 69-74, 78,                           
                 and 81 based on various combinations of Ha with the secondary references.                          

                                                   DECISION                                                         
                       In view of the foregoing, we affirm the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C § 102(e)                         
                 rejection of appealed claims 27-29, 32, 75-77, 79, and 80 as well as the 35                        
                 U.S.C § 103(a) rejection of appealed claims 1-26, 30, 31, 33-40, 69-74, 78,                        
                 and 81.
