                Appeal 2007-2880                                                                             
                Application 11/098,984                                                                       

                and the Examiner does not explain, how a detection system using a loop                       
                metal detecting coil and metallic gloves could be implemented in a miter                     
                saw.  Therefore, we are forced to conclude that the examiner’s combination                   
                of references is bottomed upon impermissible hindsight as Appellants have                    
                argued.  Accordingly, we are constrained to reverse the rejection of claims 1,               
                7, and 8 on the ground of obviousness.                                                       

                                                REVERSED
