          Appeal No.2000-1286                                                         
          Application No. 08/832,672                                                  


          element of the claim."  In re King, 801 F.2d 1324, 1326, 231                
          USPQ 136, 138 (Fed. Cir. 1986).  See also Lindemann                         
          Maschinenfabrik GMBH v. American Hoist and Derrick, 730 F.2d                
          1452, 1458, 221 USPQ 481, 485 (Fed. Cir. 1984).  As Saijo                   
          fails to meet each and every limitation of the claim, Saijo                 
          cannot anticipate claim 1.  Further, as claims 3, 6, and 7                  
          depend from claim 1, and, therefore, include all of the                     
          limitations of claim 1, Saijo fails to anticipate claims 3, 6,              
          and 7.  Accordingly, we will not sustain the examiner's                     
          rejection of claims 1, 3, 6, and 7 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b)                 
          over Saijo.
