          Appeal No. 96-0517                                                          
          Application 08/264,473                                                      


          dependent claims 15-17, which stand rejected over the same                  
          prior art.                                                                  
               Asazawa does not cure the above deficiency.  Therefore,                
          the rejection of claim 18 for obviousness over the admitted                 
          prior art in view of Feldt and Asazawa is also reversed.                    
                                     REVERSED
