6. The subject-matter of claims 2 to 5 and 7 to 9, which are dependent on claims 1 and 6, is thereby also considered as being new and involving an inventive step. ORDER
For these reasons it is decided that:
1. The decision under appeal is set aside.
2. The case is remitted to the first instance with the order to grant a patent in the version requested by the appellant, namely:
Description
Pages 2a, 5 and 11 filed with letter of 19 July 2004, Page 2 filed with letter of 21 June 2004, and Pages 1, 3, 4, 6 to 10, 12 and 13 of the application as filed,
Claims
No. 1 to 9 filed with letter of 19 July 2004,

Sheets 1/6 to 6/6 of the application as filed,
with the correction of three obvious clerical errors, namely: in claim 1, line 17, "signal (S)" to read "signal (S')", in claim 6, line 1 of page 16, "signal (S)" to read "signal (S')", and in the last line on page 2 of the description, "claim 7" to read "claim 6".
