          Appeal No. 1999-1517                                                        
          Application No. 08/837,523                                                  


          112, first paragraph, for failure to provide an adequate                    
          written description.  Claims 1 through 30 stand rejected under              
          35 U.S.C.                                                                   
          § 103 over Byun or Ehinger.  However, the rejection of claims               
          11                                                                          




          though 30 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 has been withdrawn by the                   
          examiner (answer page 5) because, according to the examiner,                
          all of the limitations of the claims cannot be examined due to              
          the problems relating to the 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph               
          rejection.                                                                  
               Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants and the                 
          examiner, we make reference to the briefs  and the answer for2                                  
          the respective details thereof.                                             
                                       OPINION                                        
               We have considered the rejections advanced by the                      
          examiner and the supporting arguments.  We have, likewise                   
          considered appellants’ arguments set forth in the briefs.                   

               A reply brief was filed (paper no. 14) and was entered into the record2                                                                     
          without further response by the examiner (see paper no. 15).                
                                          4
