                   2) The Examiner erred in rejecting claim 2 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as                    
                      unpatentable over Fukushima.

                   The Examiner’s rejection of claim 1 as anticipated by Fukushima is                        
            sustained, and rejection of claim 2 as unpatentable over Fukushima is not                        
            sustained.
