                Appeal No. 2007-0793                                                                          
                Application No. 09/875,487                                                                    
           1                                      CONCLUSION                                                  
           2          We consider the Examiner’s rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103 (a) to be                    
           3    in error as we do not find that the combination of the references applied by                  
           4    the Examiner teach all of the limitations of independent claims 15, 22, or 27.                
           5    Accordingly we will not sustain the Examiner’s rejection of independent                       
           6    claims 15, 22, or 27, or dependent claims 16 through 21, 23 through 26, and                   
           7    28 through 33 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 (a).                                                      
           8                                      ORDER                                                       
           9                                                                                                  
          10          For the forgoing reasons, we will not sustain the Examiner’s rejection                  
          11    of claims 15 through 33 under 35 U.S.C. § 103. The decision of the                            
          12    Examiner is reversed.
