          Application 08/263,744                                                      


          § 103 as being unpatentable over the teachings of Fukami,                   
          Minoda, Enoki and Kim.                                                      
          Rather than repeat the arguments of appellant or the                        
          examiner, we make reference to the brief and the answer for                 
          the respective details thereof.                                             




          OPINION                                                                     
          We have carefully considered the subject matter on                          
          appeal, the rejections advanced by the examiner and the                     
          evidence of obviousness relied upon by the examiner as support              
          for the obviousness rejections.  We have, likewise, reviewed                
          and taken into consideration, in reaching our decision, the                 
          appellant’s arguments set forth in the brief 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 the originally filed specification supports                 
          the invention now being claimed as required by 35 U.S.C. §                  
          112.  We are also of the view that the evidence relied upon                 
          and the level of skill in the particular art would not have                 
                                         -4-
