          Appeal No. 1998-0701                                                        
          Application 08/263,744                                                      


          the rejection of claims 1-4, 10 and 12 based on these                       
          teachings.                                                                  


          The rejection of claims 5-9, 11 and 13 relies on the                        
          same combination of Fukami and Minoda discussed above.  Since               
          the additional teachings of Enoki or Enoki and Kim do not                   
          overcome the deficiencies in the basic combination discussed                
          above, we do not sustain the rejection of these claims based                
          on the prior art cited by the examiner.                                     
          In summary, we have not sustained any of the                                
          examiner’s rejections of the claims.  Therefore, the decision               
          of the examiner rejecting claims 1-13 is reversed.                          
          REVERSED
