          Application No. 08/670,123                                                  


          Yamashita is reversed.  The rejection of claims 11-18 under 35              
          U.S.C. § 103 as obvious over Yamashita is also reversed, as is              
          the rejection of claim 16 under § 103 as obvious over                       
          Yamashita in view of Leyten.  Accordingly, we affirm-in-part.               


               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R.                 
          § 1.136(a).
