         Appeal No. 2004-1912                                                       
         Application No. 09/808,584                                                 

         III. The 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejections                                        
              Rather than discuss each rejection and the respective                 
         reference(s) applied in a particular 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection,            
         we simply refer to our discussion made above in connection with            
         the same references utilized in the anticipation rejections.               
         That is, for the same reasons that the references of Schäfer               
         ‘256, Schäfer ‘620, Knain, Schrauwers, and Shiraishi each fail             
         with regard to establishing a prima facie case of anticipation,            
         we determine that these references also fail with regard to a              
         prima facie case of obviousness.                                           
              In view of the above, each of the 35 U.S.C. § 103                     
         rejections is reversed.                                                    

         IV. Conclusion                                                             
              Each of the rejections is reversed.
