              In view of the above, we reverse the rejection of claims 4            
         and 8 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Johnson in view of Bohnen and             
         further in view of Ishizuka.                                               

         III.  Conclusion                                                           
              We affirm the rejection of claims 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 17-           
         20 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being obvious over Johnson in view of          
         Bohnen.

         further in view of Ishizuka.
