          Application No. 08/296,269                                                  


          Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants or the                       
          examiner, we make reference to the brief and the answer for                 
          the respective details thereof.                                             




          OPINION                                                                     
          We have carefully considered the subject matter on                          
          appeal, the rejections advanced by the examiner and the                     
          evidence of anticipation and obviousness relied upon by the                 
          examiner as support for the rejections.  We have, likewise,                 
          reviewed and taken into consideration, in reaching our                      
          decision, the appellants’ arguments set forth in the brief                  
          along with the examiner’s rationale in support of the                       
          rejections and arguments in rebuttal set forth in the                       
          examiner’s answer.                                                          
          It is our view, after consideration of the record                           
          before us, that Lim does not fully meet or suggest the                      
          obviousness of the invention as recited in claims 8 and 9.  We              
          are also of the view that the evidence relied upon and the                  

          for the United States Patent and Trademark Office.  Copies of               
          these translations are attached to this decision.
