being electrically connected to the circuitry disposed on the
substrate; and

The examiner relies on the following references:
Burr 4,097,684 June 27, 1978
Day et al. (Day) 5,026,624 June 25, 1991
Claims 12-20 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103. As
evidence of obviousness the examiner offers Burr and Day.
Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants or the
examiner, we make reference to the briefs and the answer for the
respective details thereof.
OPINION
We have carefully considered the subject matter on appeal,
the rejection advanced by the examiner and the evidence of
obviousness relied upon by the examiner as support for the
rejection. We have, likewise, reviewed and taken into
consideration, in reaching our decision, the appellants’
arguments set forth in the briefs along with the examiner’s
rationale in support of the rejection and arguments in rebuttal
set forth in the examiner’s answer.
