          Appeal No. 1998-0178                                                        
          Application No. 08/254,854                                                  


          Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants or the                       
          examiner, we make reference to the briefs and the answer for                
          the respective details thereof.                                             
          OPINION                                                                     
          We have carefully considered the subject matter on                          
          appeal, the rejections advanced by the examiner, the arguments              
          in support of the rejections and the evidence of anticipation               
          relied upon by the examiner as support for the prior art                    
          rejection.  We have, likewise, reviewed and taken into                      
          consideration, in reaching our decision, the appellants’                    
          arguments set forth in the briefs along with the examiner’s                 
          rationale in support of the rejections and arguments in                     
          rebuttal set forth in the examiner’s answer.                                
          It is our view, after consideration of the record                           
          before us, that claims 24 and 26-30 particularly point out the              
          invention in a manner which complies with 35 U.S.C. § 112.  We              
          are also of the view that the disclosure of Fujii does not                  
          fully meet the invention as set forth in claims 24 and 26-30.               
          Accordingly, we reverse.                                                    




                                         -3-
