          Application No. 09/026,093                                                  

               Claims 1-3 and 6-13 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)            
          as being unpatentable over Lui.                                             
               Claim 4 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being              
          unpatentable over Lui and Hunter.                                           
               Claim 5 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being              
          unpatentable over Lui and Yoshitomi.                                        
               Rather than repeat the arguments of Appellants and the                 
          Examiner, we make reference to the brief (paper no. 14), the                
          reply brief (paper no. 16) and the answer (paper no. 15) for the            
          respective details thereof.                                                 

          OPINION                                                                     
              We have considered the rejections advanced by the Examiner             
          and the supporting arguments.  We have, likewise, reviewed the              
          Appellants’ arguments set forth in the briefs.                              
               We reverse.                                                            
                           REJECTION UNDER 35 U.S.C. § 103                            
               As a general proposition, in an appeal involving a rejection
