          Appeal No. 1998-0765                                                        
          Application No. 08/451,853                                                  


          Kaiser, McSweeney, Miyasaka and Brauer or Peng.  Also, claims               
          16 to 22, and 24 to 36 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as              
          being unpatentable over Uchino and Miyasaka.                                







               Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants and the                 
          examiner, we make reference to the briefs  and the answer  for2              3                  
          the respective details thereof.                                             
                                       OPINION                                        
               We have considered the rejections advanced by the                      
          examiner and the supporting arguments.  We have, likewise,                  
          reviewed the appellants’ arguments set forth in the briefs.                 
               We reverse.                                                            
               In our analysis here, we are guided by the general                     
          proposition that in an appeal involving a rejection under 35                


               Two reply briefs were filed as papers nos. 14 and 16.  Both were2                                                                     
          entered into the record by the examiner.                                    
               The examiner responded to each of the reply briefs in papers nos. 153                                                                     
          and 17 respectively.                                                        
                                          4
