                Claims 1-3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12-16 and 20 stand rejected2 under                  
          35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Goldberg.

          35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Goldberg in view of                  
          Kobayashi.                                                                         
                Claims 1-3 and 5-20 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)                  
          as being unpatentable over Goldberg in view of Kobayashi and                       
          further in view of Pearson.                                                        
                Claim 19 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being                   
          unpatentable over Goldberg.                                                        
                Claim 19 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being                   
          unpatentable over Goldberg in view of Kobayashi, Pearson and                       
          Meier.                                                                             









                2 From the first two statement of rejection, it is unclear                   
          as to why the examiner lists two different groups of overlapping                   
          claims as being unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) over                         
          Goldberg.
