                 Appeal 2007-0677                                                                                    
                 Application 10/708,677                                                                              

            1                                        CONCLUSION                                                      
            2                                                                                                        
            3           We consider the Examiner’s rejection of claims 1 through 30 under 35                         
            4    U.S.C. § 103(a) to be in error as we do not find that the combination of the                        
            5    combination of Deng or Gerum with Mizusawa teach or suggest the                                     
            6    limitations in independent claims 1, 12, and 21.  The Examiner has not                              
            7    asserted, nor do we find that Hrazdera or Yoshioka, the references applied                          
            8    against claims 5 through 10, 18 and 28, make up for the noted deficiencies in                       
            9    the rejection of independent claims 1, 12 and 21.  Accordingly we will not                          
           10    sustain the Examiner’s rejection of claims 35 U.S.C. § 103 (a) of claims 1                          
           11    through 30.                                                                                         
           12                                        ORDER                                                           
           13                                                                                                        
           14           For the forgoing reasons, we will not sustain the Examiner’s                                 
           15    rejections, under 35 U.S.C. § 103. The decision of the Examiner is reversed.                        
           16
