          Application 08/317,108                                                      


          come up with the invention of claim 24, without using the                   
          Appellants’ disclosure as a road map.  Thus, we do not sustain              
          the obviousness rejection of claim 24 and the grouped claims 2              
          to 4, 10 to 15, and 28 to 33 over Uchino and Miyasaka.                      
                                        DECISION                                     
               The decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 2 to 4, 10
