          Appeal No. 1999-0130                                                       
          Application No. 08/439,035                                                 


               For these reasons, we likewise cannot uphold the examiner's           
          rejection on this ground.                                                  
               In summary, we reverse the examiner’s rejections under 35             
          U.S.C. § 103(a) of all the appealed claims as unpatentable over            
          (i) Nishikawa in view of either Habu or Erickson or (ii) either            
          Habu or Erickson in view of either Nishikawa or Ward.                      
               The decision of the examiner is reversed.                             
                                      REVERSED
