Claims 1-27 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a). As evidence of
obviousness, the Examiner relies upon Veditz and Watanabe for the first
stated rejection of claims 1, 3-5, 7-9, 12-14, 16, 18-20 and 22-24. Veditz
and Watanabe are combined with Horn in the second stated rejection of

with Kan for the third stated rejection of claims 15 and 25.2
