          Appeal No. 2001-0110                                                        
          Application 08/866,395                                                      

          unpatentable over Dixon in view of Kawai and further in view of             
          Yagi and Shibano, we note that the Examiner also relies on the              
          same reasoning as discussed above.  Therefore we will not sustain           
          these rejections as well.  In view of the foregoing, we will not            
          sustain the Examiner’s decision rejecting, claims 1 through 11              
          and 15 through 22.
