Appeal No. 1996-3287
Application 08/226,472
In summary, we are not convinced that the functions performed by the means of independent
claims 1 and 4 are also performed by the structure disclosed by Nomura. Therefore, we do not sustain
the anticipation rejection of these claims or of claims 2, 3, 5 and 6 which depend therefrom.
Accordingly, the decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1-6 is reversed.
