Claims 25, 32, and 38 -- Yokoyama and Mokusu (Kisu) Appellants' arguments regarding claims 25, 32, and 38 (Br18-20, Issue V(G)) are in the nature of a description of the invention and a restatement of the rejection, but do not address the merits of the examiner's rejection. Appellants' argument that claims 25, 32, and 38 are patentable because they depend on claim 20 (Br20) does not address the rejection. Because appellants have not argued any error in the examiner's findings of fact or conclusions of law, the rejection of claims 25, 32, and 38 is sustained.
