                   1. Claims 16-18 and 20-22 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)                        
            as being unpatentable over the teachings of Lee in view of Vossen, and                          

            further in view of Fujisada, Wolf-1, and Wolf-2.                                                

                   2. Claim 19 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being

            make reference to the briefs and the answer for the respective details                          

            thereof.
