          Appeal No. 2001-2089                                                        
          Application 08/993,368                                                      



          applied Maiti to address the peripheral region structure recited            
          in these claims, we find nothing in the Maiti reference which               
          would overcome the innate deficiencies of Momodomi and Komori               
          discussed supra.                                                            
                    In conclusion, we have not sustained the Examiner’s               
          35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of any of the claims on appeal.                
          Therefore, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 12-21 is           
          reversed.
