          Appeal No. 1999-1462                                                        
          Application No. 08/747,881                                                  


          example 2, clearly, when the two rollings are performed with a              
          Hagino’s disclosed reduction ratio of 60% at each pass, one                 
          gets a flat cable of outside thickness of 640 µm, wherein the               
          thickness of each superconductor wire is reduced to 20 µm,                  
          thereby yielding a ratio of 3.125%, see figs. 5 to 8.  This                 
          meets the claimed ratio of each superconductor wire to the                  
          outside thickness of the metal sheath.  Therefore, we sustain               
          the obviousness rejection of claim 1 and its grouped claims 2,              
          3 and 6 over Hagino, Ochiai and Schwartzkopf.
