             Appeal No. 2002-1205                                                                            
             Application No. 09/422,380                                                                      

             The examiner has not explained why, in view of this contrast,                                   
             Yamanaka supports the examiner’s theory of inherency.  The examiner                             
             also does not explain how Akashi cures this deficiency in Yamanaka.                             
             In view of the above, we therefore reverse the 35 U.S.C. § 103                                  
             of rejection of claims 1 and 2.                                                                 
                   No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection                             
             with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR  § 1.136(a).
