         Appeal No. 1998-0419                                                       
         Application No. 08/526,534                                                 


              For these reasons and those set forth in the answer, we               
         affirm the examiner’s rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) of                
         appealed claims 5, 11, and 18 as anticipated by Song.                      
              In summary, we reverse the 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) rejection of            
         claims 1 through 4, 6 through 10, 12, 13, 16, 19, and 20 as                
         anticipated by Song.  We also reverse the 35 U.S.C. § 103                  
         rejection of claims 14, 15, and 17 as unpatentable over Song.              
         We affirm, however, the rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) of              
         product-by-process claims 5, 11, and 18 as anticipated by Song.            
              The decision of the examiner is affirmed in part.
