          Appeal No. 2004-0288                                                        
          Application No. 09/173,747                                                  
          providing a prima facie case of obviousness, the 35 U.S.C. § 103            
          rejection of claims 37-46, 49, 50, 54-56, 58, 65, 66, 68-71 and             
          75 over Knight, McDaniel and Lee cannot be sustained.                       
               With respect to the rejection of the remaining claims, the             
          Examiner further relies on Hinode, Hiroshi, Arimoto, Hasegawa,              
          Watanabe and Miyagawa.  However, none of these references                   
          overcomes the deficiencies of Knight, McDaniel and Lee, alone or            
          in combination, as discussed above with respect to claim 37.                
          Therefore, we do not sustain any of the 35 U.S.C. § 103                     
          rejections of claims 47, 48, 51-53, 57, 59-64 and 67.
