U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Foote, Aikawa and
Hinlein. Claims 9, 15 and 16 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §

OPINION
After careful review of the evidence before us, we agree
with the Examiner that claims 2 through 8, and 14 through 17
are properly rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103. Thus, we will
sustain the rejection of these claims but we will reverse the
rejection of the remaining claims on appeal for the reasons
set forth.
