and Foster.
Claims 10, 13 and 14 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.

Eichman and Foster.
Claims 15 through 17 and 20 through 23 stand rejected
under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Eichman in
view of Foster and Albrecht.
Claims 18, 19 and 31 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.

Albrecht, Shufflebotham and Miyamoto.
Claim 301 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as
being unpatentable over Mizuno in view of Wolf.
Reference is made to the briefs (paper numbers 14 and
17) and the answer (paper number 15) for the respective positions
of the appellants and the examiner.
1 Since claim 30 depends from claim 29, the rejection of
claim 30 must of necessity include Miyamoto.
