OPINION
We have carefully considered all of the arguments
advanced by appellants and the examiner and agree with the
examiner that the invention recited in claims 4 and 9 would
have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the
time of appellants’ invention over the applied references.
Accordingly, we affirm the rejection of these claims.
1 Our consideration of this reference is based upon the
English translation thereof which is of record.
