          Appeal No. 1998-1319                                                        
          Application No. 08/466,188                                                  


          present claims 18 through 27 are unpatentable over patent                   
          claims 1, 2, 4, 5, 12, and 14 through 18, respectively.                     
          Consequently, we will affirm the obviousness-type double                    
          patenting rejection of claims 18 through 27.                                
                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 9, 10, 15,               
          and 18 through 44 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over APA, Arai, and                 
          Suzuki is reversed.  The decision of the examiner rejecting                 
          claims 9, 10, 15, and 18 through 44 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over              
          Aoki is affirmed as to claims 18, 19, 23, 30, and 32, and                   
          reversed as to claims 9, 10, 15, and 20 through 22, 24 through              
          29, 31, and 33 through 44.  The decision of the examiner                    
          rejecting claims 9, 10, 15, and 18 through 44 under the                     
          doctrine of obviousness-type double patenting is affirmed as                
          to claims 18 through 27 and reversed as to claims 9, 10, 15,                
          and 28 through 44.                                                          









                                         18
