          Application No. 08/253,884                                                  

               2.  Claims 2, 3, 5, and 6 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. §               
          103 as being unpatentable over the prior art as illustrated in              
          Fig. 1 of the present application in view of Shin and further               
          in view of Sobue.                                                           
               3.  Claims 8 and 9 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as               
          being unpatentable over the prior art as illustrated in Fig. 1              
          of the present application in view of Sobue.                                
               Rather than reiterate the arguments of Appellant and the               
          Examiner, reference is made to the Brief and 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 obviousness relied upon by the Examiner as support for the               
          rejections.  We have, likewise, reviewed and taken into                     
          consideration, in reaching our decision, the Appellant’s                    
          arguments set forth in the Brief along with the Examiner's                  
          rationale in support of the rejections and arguments in                     
          rebuttal                                                                    



                                          3
