                Appeal 2007-0510                                                                                 
                Application 10/699,507                                                                           
                                                                                                                 
            1          The samples may be physically separated from each other, such as in                       
            2   different regions of a substrate or in different sample containers.  Kolosov,                    
            3   para. [0056].                                                                                    
            4          Kolosov contemplates that the substrate and sample containers can be                      
            5   used with automated sampling and automated substrate-handling devices.                           
            6   Kolosov, para. [0059].                                                                           
            7          In one embodiment, the samples may be moved relative to the probe                         
            8   14.  Kolosov, para. [0073].                                                                      
            9          The samples may be moved by an automated system, e.g., a robot                            
           10   arm.  Kolosov, para. [0073].                                                                     
           11          A suitable automated system may be a robotic system that has                              
           12   multiple axis range of motion in the orthogonal x, y, z coordinate axes                          
           13   system.  Typically, such an automated system would be part of or in                              
           14   communication with the computer sub-system 23.  Kolosov, para. [0074].                           
           15                3.     O’Rear                                                                       
           16          O’Rear discloses a blend of lube base oils which provide improved                         
           17   oxidation stability, both with and without additives.  O’Rear, para. [0001].                     
           18          Finished lubricants used for automobiles, diesel engines, and                             
           19   industrial applications consist of two general components:  a lube base oil                      
           20   and additives.  O’Rear, para. [0002].                                                            
           21          The lube base oil disclosed in O’Rear may be used in a finished                           
           22   lubricant composition and, thus, may contain one or more additives,                              
           23   depending on the particular use of the oil.  O’Rear, para. [0046].                               
           24          O’Rear discloses that the additives are used in amounts which are                         
           25   known to those of skill in the art, preferably about 0.1 to about 40 weight                      
           26   percent of the final lube oil product.  O’Rear, para. [0046].                                    

                                                       8
