Application 08/362,151
out, and we do not find, where Yabe discloses or would have
fairly suggested, to one of ordinary skill in the art, a

conclusion of obviousness of the invention recited in any of
appellant’s claims. Consequently, we reverse the examiner’s
rejection.
DECISION
The rejection of claims 1-3, 5 and 7-11 under Hanamoto in
view of Valyi and Yabe is reversed.
