limitation. Accordingly, dependent claims 2-5, 7-11, 13-16,
and 18-22 are reversed based on the same reasoning.
In summary, based on the foregoing, we reverse the
rejection of claim 6 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as anticipated
by Naito. We further reverse the rejection of claims 1, 5, 7,
8, 11, 12, 16-19, 22 and 23 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as
unpatentable over Naito. Finally, we reverse the rejection of
claims 2-4, 9,
10, 13-15, 20 and 21 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as unpatentable
over Naito and Strickland.
