                Appeal No. 2007-0068                                                                          
                Application No. 10/230,452                                                                    

                        35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of claim 11 over Wu and Kondo                            
                      Turning now to the rejection of claim 11, we find that Appellant                        
                merely points out that the claim should be allowed because of its                             
                dependency upon base claim 1 (Br. 14).  As we discussed the teachings of                      
                Wu with respect to claim 1, supra., we also find that the Examiner has made                   
                a reasonable case of prima facie obviousness with respect to the combination                  
                of Wu and Kondo.  Therefore, we sustain the 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of                   
                claim 11 over Wu and Kondo.                                                                   
                                              CONCLUSION                                                      
                      In view of the foregoing, the decision of the Examiner rejecting                        
                claims 1-4, 7-10, 12-15, and 17-22  under 35 U.S.C. § 102 and rejecting                       
                claims 5, 6, 11, and 16 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed.                                    









                                                                                                             




                                                      8
