          Application No. 08/043,610                                                 


          Yamamoto et al. (Japan) 63-300699 2               Dec.  7, 1988            








                    Claims 16 and 17 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as      
          anticipated by Tominari.  In a new ground of rejection entered in the      
          principal answer, the examiner also rejects claims 16 and 17 under         
          35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable over Tominari and Kendall.  Claims 23      
          through 25 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable over       
          Kondrat'ev in view of Tominari.  Claims 19, 21 and 22 stand rejected       
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable over Kondrat'ev and Tominari in      
          view of Yamamoto.                                                          
                    Reference is made to the briefs and answers for the              
          respective positions of appellants and the examiner.                       
                                         OPINION                                     
                    We turn first to the rejection of claims 16 and 17 under         
          35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as anticipated by Tominari.
