The following references are relied on by the examiner:
Matick et al. (Matick) 4,577,293 Mar. 18, 1986
Konishi et al. (Konishi) 4,809,230 Feb. 28, 1989
(filing date Dec. 4, 1986)
Ward et al. (Ward) 4,894,770 Jan. 16, 1990
(filing date June 1, 1987)
Claims 19, 21, and 22 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being
anticipated by Matick. These same claims also stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
being obvious over Ward alone. Finally, claim 23 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 as being obvious over Matick or Ward, further in view of Konishi.
Rather than repeat the positions of the appellants and the examiner, reference is
made to the brief and reply brief for appellants' positions, and the final rejection and
answer for the examiner's positions.
