The prior art references of record relied upon by the Examiner in rejecting the
appealed claims are:
Kondo 4,777,530 Oct. 11, 1988

unpatentable over Nagata in view of Kondo. Claim 13 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. §
103 as being unpatentable over Nagata and Kondo in view of Henot.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced by the Examiner and the
appellant regarding the above-noted rejections, we make reference to the Examiner's
answer (Paper No. 22, mailed Aug. 19, 1997) for the Examiner's reasoning in support of
the rejections, and to the appellant's brief (Paper No. 20, filed Dec. 30, 1996) for the
