          Application No. 09/121,725                                                  

               Consequently, we agree that the examiner has established a             
          prima facie case of obviousness.  We shall sustain this rejection           
          as well.                                                                    
                                        Summary                                       
               The rejection of claims 6 and 7 under 35 U.S.C. §102 (b) as            
          anticipated by Yasushi (JP4356156A) is sustained.                           
               The rejection of claims 3 and 4 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as            
          obvious over Yasushi (JP4356156A) is sustained.                             
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection          
          with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                               
          § 1.136(a).
