Appeal No. 1998-2102 Application 08/826,039 17 by Mishiro. We have also sustained the obviousness rejection of claims 17 to 22 over Iijima. However, we have not sustained the anticipation rejection of claim 16 by Ohnishi, claim 16 by Yamaguchi (including the alternative obviousness rejection), and claims 16, and 24 to 28, and 30 by Mishiro. We have also not sustained the obviousness rejection of claim 16 over Iijima, and claims 24 to 28 and 30 over Ohnishi.
