          Appeal No. 1998-0916                                                        
          Application 08/331,435                                                      


          U.S.C.                                                                      
          § 102(e) as being anticipated by the disclosure of Jacobson.                
          3. Claims 1 and 10 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.                           
          § 102(e) as being anticipated by the disclosure of Kayser.                  
          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 anticipation relied upon by the examiner as                     
          support for the 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 disclosures of Uenishi, Jacobson and                    
          Kayser do not fully meet the invention as set forth in claims               
          1-4, 10 and 11.  Accordingly, we reverse.                                   
          Appellant has indicated that for purposes of this                           
                                          3
