Appeal No. 1997-2708 Application No. 08/337,204 cannot sustain the obviousness rejection of claims 75, 91, 118, and 147. Regarding the obviousness rejection of claims 31, 37, and 38 over Sparrow and Kimizu, Kimizu does not cure the deficiencies of Sparrow. Therefore, we cannot sustain the obviousness rejection of claims 31, 37, and 38. CONCLUSION The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 28 through 30, 33 through 36, 70, 72 through 74, 78 through 80, 83, 84, 88 through 90, 92, 117, 141 through 146, 148 through 150, and 157 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 is reversed. The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 31, 37, 38, 75, 91, 118, and 147 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed. REVERSED JAMES D.
