         Application 08/313,249                                                      



                   Claims 4 and 8 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)            
         as being unpatentable over Anthony, Bendig and Takahashi as                 
         applied to claim 1 above, and further in view of Berger ‘067                
         or Berger ‘708.                                                             


                  Claims 10, 11, 28 and 29 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.           
         § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Anthony, Bendig and Takahashi           
         as applied to claim 1 above, and further in view of Maehara and             
         Sugimoto.                                                                   


                   Claims 14, 15, 32 and 334 stand rejected under 35                 
         U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Anthony, Bendig and              
         Takahashi as applied to claims 1 and 28 above, and further in               
         view of Ross.                                                               


                   Claims 21, 38, 39 and 40 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.           
         § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Anthony, Bendig and Takahashi           



               4 Claims 32 and 33 depend from claim 28.  Since the rejec-            
         tion of claim 28 includes the references to Anthony, Bendig,                
         Takahashi, Maehara and Sugimoto, we understand the rejection of             
         claims 32 and 33 to also include the references to Maehara and              
         Sugimoto.  Therefore, we understand the rejection of claims 32              
         and 33 to be based on Anthony, Bendig, Takahashi, Maehara and               
         Sugimoto as applied to claim 28 above, and further in view of               
         Ross.                                                                       
                                          5
