               Masayuki Wakabe et al. originally took this appeal from                
          the final rejection of claims 1, 3 through 5, 7 through 9, 11               
          through 14, 16 through 18, 27 and 28.  The appellants have                  
          since canceled claim 17 and amended claims 11, 16 and 18.                   
          Thus, the appeal now involves claims 1, 3 through 5, 7 through
