                 Appeal 2006-2637                                                                                       
                 Application 10/178,878                                                                                 

                 manifold limitations of independent claim1, from which claims 4 and 5                                  
                 depend.  In light of our determinations above regarding the lack of a                                  
                 disclosure of the here claimed manifold features by Murkejee, it follows that                          
                 we shall also reverse the Examiner’s obviousness rejection of claims 4 and                             
                 5, on this record.                                                                                     
                                                   CONCLUSION                                                           
                        The decision of the Examiner to reject claims 1-3, 6-9, and 12-31                               
                 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as being anticipated by Mukerjee and to reject                                
                 claims 4 and 5 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over                                     
                 Mukerjee in view of Elangovan is reversed.
