               Kazuo Sanada et al. originally took this appeal from the               
          final rejection of claims 1, 7, 10, 12, 18 and 19.  As the                  
          appellants have since canceled claim 7,  the appeal now involves1                                    
          claims 1, 10, 12, 18 and 19, all of the claims currently pending
