          Appeal No. 1998-2976                                                        
          Application No. 08/326,049                                                  


          The reference to Matsukawa is not relied on to show                         
          activating means and driving means on the opposing major                    
          surfaces of a substrate.  Accordingly, even if motivation to                
          combine the teachings of the two references is assumed, the                 
          subject matter of the claims is not met.
