          § 102(b) as being anticipated by Hanyu is affirmed.                         
               The rejection of claim 43 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being            
          anticipated by, or in the alternative, under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as             
          being obvious over Hanyu is reversed, pro forma.
