          Appeal No. 2002-1627                                                        
          Application No. 09/132,450                                                  


          respect to the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of appealed          
          claims 1-8 and 10-15 based on Yamakita, we have not sustained the           
          rejection of claims 1-7, but have sustained the rejection of claims         
          8 and 10-15.  Therefore, the Examiner’s decision rejecting claims           
          1-8 and 10-15 is affirmed-in-part.                                          
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection                                                                 
          with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).                   
                                   AFFIRMED-IN-PART
