1993
The specification is objected to under 35 U.S.C. § 112,
first paragraph, for failing to provide an adequate written
description of the invention. Claims 1, 2, and 12 through 15
and
17 through 20 stand rejected for the reasons set forth in the
objection to the specification. Claim 19 stands rejected
under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph, for failing to
particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject matter

anticipated by Fukuda. Claims 17 through 20 stand rejected
under 35 U.S.C.
§ 102 as being anticipated by Sakamoto.
Rather than repeat the arguments of Appellants or the
Examiner, we make reference to the brief and the answer for
the details thereof.
