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. 5Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
