Appeal No. 2000-0980 Application 08/763,733 Iwamura does not overcome the deficiencies of Okada, and since we found no deficiencies in Okada as discussed above, we sustain the examiner’s rejection of claims 3-5 and 12. In summary, we have sustained each of the examiner’s rejections of the claims on appeal. Therefore, the decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1-14 is affirmed. No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a). AFFIRMED ERROL A.
