          Appeal No. 2003-1852                                                        
          Application No. 09/415,402                                                  

                                       Summary                                        
               In summary, we reverse the examiner’s rejection under 35               
          U.S.C. § 103(a) of appealed claims 1, 4 through 6, 8 through 10,            
          14 through 16, 18 through 24, 38, and 40 through 42 as                      
          unpatentable over Maeda in view of Balakrishna and Sugiyama.  We            
          affirm, however, the rejection of appealed claims 34 through 36             
          and 48 through 50 as unpatentable over the same combination of              
          references.                                                                 
               The decision of the examiner is therefore affirmed in part.
