35 U.S.C. § 103 over Koyama, and claims 32 and 33 over Koyama,

OPINION
We have considered the record before us, and we will
reverse the rejection of claims 25 to 34 under 35 U.S.C. §
112, second paragraph. We will also reverse both rejections
under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
At the outset, we note that Appellant has elected [brief,
page 2] claims 25 to 33 and 34 as group I, and claim 34 as
group II. We will take both the groups together for the
section 112 rejection first and treat the two groups
separately for the section 103 rejections.
