          Appeal No. 1998-2720                                                        
          Application 08/352,730                                                      


          Since we do not agree with the examiner’s                                   
          interpretation of claims 1 and 3, we find that Wakabayashi                  
          does not disclose every limitation of the claimed invention.                
          Therefore, the decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1 and              
          3 is reversed.                                                              
          REVERSED
