                           DECISION ON REQUEST FOR REHEARING                          
               This is a decision on the appellant’s request, (Paper                  
          No. 17), that we reconsider our decision in Ex parte Lee,                   
          No. 1999-0009 (Bd. Pat. App. & Int. June 20, 2001), which                   
          affirmed the rejection of claims 9, 11-15, 17, 19, 20, and 22               
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being obvious over U.S. Patent No.              
          5,493,421 (Uetama) in view of U.S. Patent No. 5,420,693                     
          (Horiuchi) further in view of U.S. Patent No. 4,992,884 (Sakata)            
          even further in view of U.S. Patent No. 5,335,085 (Nakatsuma).              
          Our decision also reversed the rejection of claims 1, 7, and 8              
          under § 103(a) as being obvious over Uetama in view of Horiuchi;
