               Claim 19 reads as follows:                                             
               19.  A liquid-cooled electronic device comprising:                     

               at least one semiconductor device mounted on a substrate;              
               a cooling medium supply member for injecting a cooling                 
          medium to a back surface of said at least one semiconductor                 
          device; and                                                                 
               a member arranged upstream of the back surface adjacent                
          an outlet of the cooling medium supply member and configured                
          for interfering with a flow of said cooling medium from said                
          cooling medium supply member to create turbulence downstream                
          of the outlet and radial flow of said cooling medium over the               
          back surface.

          anticipated by Azar.  Claims 1-20 stand rejected under 35                   
          U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable over Nakajima in view of Azar and              
          Novotny.
