Appeal No. 1999-2313 Application No. 08/396,288 Thus, the claimed invention is not taught or suggested by Hidaka or Iwazumi. Therefore, we do not sustain the examiner’s rejection of claims 45, 46 and 50. Since Asahi does not overcome the deficiencies of Hidaka or Iwazumi, we also do not sustain the examiner’s rejection of claims 47-49 and 51-58. Accordingly, the decision of the examiner rejecting claims 45-58 is reversed. REVERSED KENNETH W. HAIRSTON ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) BOARD OF PATENT ERROL A.
