                (1)  The Examiner did not err in rejecting claims 1-5, 7-11, and 14 for                       
                obviousness under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                                                            
                (2)  The Examiner erred in rejecting claim 6 for obviousness under                            
                35 U.S.C. § 103.                                                                              

                                                 DECISION

                      The rejection of claim 6 for obviousness under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is                       
                reversed.
