          Appeal No. 1998-0908                                                        
          Application No. 08/506,292                                                  

          35 U.S.C. § 102(e) rejection of claims 57, 58, and 66-83.  With             
          regard to the 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of claims 57, 58, and            
          66-83 as being unpatentable over King '405 or King '241, in the             
          alternative, in view of Moriya, we have sustained the rejection             
          of claims 57, 68, 71, 72, 75, 78-80, and 83, but have not                   
          sustained the rejection of claims 58, 66, 67, 69, 70, 73, 74, 76,           
          77, 81, and 82.  With respect to the separate 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)            
          rejection of claims 57, 58, and 66-83 as being unpatentable over            
          King '405 or King '241 in view of Kreiger, Yamada, or Charlton,             
          further in view of Kwon or Tuckerman, and further in view of                
          Moriya, we have sustained the rejection of claims 57, 58, 68-72,            
          75-80, and 83, but have not sustained the rejection of claims 66,           
          67, 73, 74, 81, and 82.  Accordingly, the Examiner’s decision               
          rejecting claims 57, 58, and 66-83 is affirmed-in-part.3
