                  Application No. 08/964,780                                                                                                              


                           To whatever extent Onodera suggests employing a motor to adjust a seat in an                                                   
                  automobile, Onodera clearly does not provide for the deficiencies noted supra with

                  14 includes.  Accordingly, we will not sustain the rejection of claims 12 and 14 under 35
