               Application No. 09/955,457                                                                                       

                      With respect to the dependent claims, the Examiner does not identify how the teachings                    
               of Parulski, Miyadera, or Kikuchi remedy the deficiency in Nishimura (and Official Notice).                      
               Therefore, we cannot sustain the rejection of the dependent claims 2-6, 8-13, and 15-24.                         

                                                       CONCLUSION                                                               
                   To summarize, we have reversed the rejection of claims 1-24 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                           





























                                                               6
