Appeal No. 1999-1854 Application No. 08/633,616 For the above reasons, it is our opinion that, since all of the claimed limitations are not disclosed by Fujii, the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) rejection of independent claims 1, 9, 13, and 21, as well as claims 2-8, 10-12, and 14-20 dependent thereon, cannot be sustained. Therefore, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1-21 is reversed. REVERSED JERRY SMITH ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) ) BOARD OF PATENT JOSEPH F.
