          Appeal No. 2001-0783                                                        
          Application 09/012,796                                                      



          Notwithstanding this argument, it is our view that the claim                
          language has been given the broadest reasonable interpretation              
          by the examiner.  Accordingly, we agree that Kuroi anticipates              
          this broadly worded claim.                                                  
                    In summary, we affirm the examiner’s rejections of                
          claims 1-9.                                                                 
                    No time period for taking any subsequent action in                
          con- nection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR §                
          1.136(a).
