               The following references are relied on by the examiner:                
          Inakoshi                      5,933,604             Aug. 3, 1999            
               (filing date Nov. 5, 1996)                                             
          Noble                         5,978,842             Nov. 2, 1999            
          (filing date Jul. 18, 1997)                                                 
               Claims 1 through 20 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103.              
          As evidence of obviousness, the examiner relies upon Noble in               
          view of Inakoshi.                                                           
               Rather than repeat the positions of the appellants and the             
          examiner, reference is made to the briefs and the answer for the            
          respective details thereof.
