harder damping range" and calls for selection of the
rebounding harder damping range when the vertical speed is in

examiner cites to show that these features were known. This
rejection is reversed because Athanas does not cure the
deficiencies of Ema and Matsumoto with respect to claim 1, on
which claim 5 properly depends.
