          Appeal No. 1998-0647                                                        
          Application 08/414,004                                                      


               In view of the foregoing, it is clear that there can be                
          no clear anticipation of even the broad representative                      
          independent claim 1 on appeal in accordance with the teachings              
          and showings in Kawashima.  Since the feature of independent                
          claim 1 of "a combined motor and magnetic bearing device" etc.              
          is similarly reflected in each of the remaining independent                 
          claims 2 and 10 on appeal, we must reverse the rejection of                 
          all claims on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 102.  As such, the                   
          decision of the examiner is reversed.                                       
                                      REVERSED
