                  Application No. 08/411,033                                                                                                              


                  of claim 9 and its dependent claims 10-14.  The examiner has not relied upon the                                                        
                  teachings of Stevens ‘183 or Higashitsutsumi to remedy the above noted deficiencies in                                                  
                  the combination of Hieda and Stevens ‘774.  Similarly, we find that they do not remedy the                                              
                  above noted deficiencies.                                                                                                               


                                                                  CONCLUSION                                                                              

                           To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1-6 and 9-14  under 35                                             
                  U.S.C.  § 103 is reversed.
