Appeal No. 95-5146
Application 08/152,557
would not have been an obvious result from the teachings of
Kimura. Accordingly, we do not sustain the rejection of claims
20 and 22-26.
We now consider the rejection of claims 21 and 27 under
35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable over Soda in view of Kimura and
further in view of Brock. These claims depend from and
incorporate the limitations of independent claim 20 discussed
above. Since the additionally applied Brock reference does not
overcome the deficiencies noted above with respect to Soda and
Kimura, we also do not sustain the rejection of claims 21 and 27.
In summary, we have not sustained either of the
examiner’s rejections of the claims. Therefore, the decision of
the examiner rejecting claims 20-27 is reversed.
REVERSED
