          Appeal No. 96-1790                                                          
          Application No. 08/285,375                                                  


          1992).  Based on the totality of the record, we determine that              
          the preponderance of evidence weighs in favor of obviousness                
          of the subject matter recited in appealed claim 1.                          
          Accordingly, the rejection of claims 1 through 11 under § 103               
          over Chung in view of Green and Watanabe is affirmed.                       
          Similarly, the rejection of claims 1-7 and 10-12 under § 103                
          over Hongo in view of Green and Watanabe is affirmed.                       
          Therefore the decision of the examiner is affirmed.                         
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR
