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.
