         Appeal No. 2002-0l08                                                       
         Application No.09/200,981                                                  


              Accordingly, since the examiner has not convinced us of an            
         adequate motivation to combine the teachings of Lane and Maes, we          
         will not sustain the rejection of claims 1-3 and 5-8 under                 
         35 U.S.C. § 103.  Since Fujieda does not provide for the                   
         deficiencies of the primary references, we also will not sustain           
         the rejection of claim 4 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                            


              The examiner’s decision is reversed.                                  


                                      REVERSED
