Appeal No. 1996-0427
Application 08/210,224
The reference relied on by the Examiner is as fol-
lows:
Yamamura et al. (Yamamura) 5,233,508 Aug. 3,
1993
Claims 3, 12 and 21 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.
§ 112, second paragraph, as being indefinite for failing to
particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject matter
which Appellants regard as the invention. Claims 1, 2, 5, 10,
11, 14, 19 and 20 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102 as
being anticipated by Yamamura. Claims 4 and 13 stand rejected
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Yamamura.
Rather than repeat the arguments of Appellants or
the Examiner, we make reference to the brief and the answer
for the details thereof.
OPINION
After a careful review of the evidence before us, we
agree with the Examiner that claims 1, 2, 5, 10, 11, 14, 19
