            Appeal 2007-1457                                                                                 
            Application 10/033,121                                                                           

        1   Examiner's rejection of claims 1-21 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious over                     
        2   Humble and Nishi.                                                                                
        3                                                                                                    
        4       Claims 1-21 rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious over Humble and                     
        5                                       Nakamura.                                                    
        6       The Appellant has argued the claims in this rejection based on these same                    
        7   issues as to the teachings of Humble, and so these claims are treated in a similar               
        8   manner.  The Appellant has not shown reversible error on the part of the Examiner.               
        9   Accordingly we sustain the Examiner's rejection of claims 1-21 under 35 U.S.C. §                 
       10   103(a) as obvious over Humble and Nakamura.                                                      
       11                                                                                                    
       12                                       DECISION                                                     
       13       To summarize, our decision is as follows:                                                    
       14       • The rejection of claims 1-21 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious over                      
       15          Humble and Nishi is sustained.                                                            
       16       • The rejection of claims 1-21 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious over                      
       17          Humble and Nakamura is sustained.                                                         










                                                      7
