         Application 08/449,682                                                   


         structure by using Appellant’s invention as a blue print.                
         That is not permitted within the meaning of obviousness under

         rejection of claim 4 over Inaba.                                         
              In conclusion, we have sustained the rejection of claims            
         1-3, 5, 6, 8 and 9 under 35 U.S.C. § 102, while we have not              
         sustained the rejection of claim 4 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                
         Accordingly, we affirm-in-part.
