              Application 10/224,917                                                               


                    Claims 1 through 3, 5, 8 through 10,  13, 15, 16, 18, 19, 22, and 24           
              stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(a) as being anticipated by Jones ‘638.          
              In a second stated rejection, claims 1, 4, 15, 18, 19, and 24 stand rejected         
              under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as being anticipated by Leanheart.  In a third stated       
              rejection, the Examiner rejects claims 2, 5, 9, 10, 12, 16, and 17 under 35          
              U.S.C. § 103.  As evidence of obviousness, the Examiner relies upon                  
              Leanheart in view of Jones ‘046.  Next, in a fourth stated rejection, the            
              Examiner separately rejects claim 3 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  As evidence of           
              obviousness here, the Examiner relies upon Leanheart in view of Jones ‘046,          
              further in view of Jones ‘638.  In a fifth stated rejection, under 35 U.S.C.         
              § 103, the Examiner relies upon Leanheart in view of Kim as to claim 8.  In          
              a sixth stated rejection, also under 35 U.S.C. § 103, the Examiner rejects           
              claim 11 over Leanheart in view of Jones ‘046, further in view of Li.  Next,         
              in a seventh stated rejection, also under Section 103, the Examiner relies           
              upon Leanheart in view of Jones ‘638 to reject claims 13 and 14.  Next, the          
              Examiner relies upon Leanheart in view of Toyama as to claim 20 under 35             
              U.S.C. § 103 in an eighth stated rejection.  To reject claim 21 under 35             
              U.S.C. § 103 in a ninth stated rejection, the Examiner relies upon Leanheart         
              in view of Yen.  In a tenth stated rejection, the Examiner rejects claim 22          
              under 35 U.S.C. § 103 based upon Leanheart in view of Jones ‘638.  In an             
              eleventh stated rejection, the Examiner relies upon Jones ‘638 in view of            
              Kobayashi to reject claim 23 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  This claim is                   
              additionally rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 in a twelfth stated rejection            
              based upon Leanheart in view of Kobayashi.                                           


                                                3
