taught in Lee. In this manner, the claimed identifier of claims 1,
2, 4, 5, 7 and 8 would have been obvious in light of the collective
teachings and suggestions of both references. The teaching value
of both references is considered consistent when it is taught in

and MFB in Reininghaus may be countries or continents, which is

Lee.
The prefixes in Lee are shown in Figures 8, 9, 10A and 10B,
