Grounds of Rejection
Claims 23 - 25 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102. As evidence of anticipation,
the examiner relies upon Aston (I) and Guyton.
Claims 5 - 32 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103. As evidence of obviousness,
the examiner relies upon Aston (I) and Guyton.
Claims 5 - 22 and 26 - 32 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103. As evidence of
obviousness, the examiner relies upon Aston (I), Guyton, and Aston (II).
We affirm the rejection of claims 23-25 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 and the rejection of
claims 26, 31, and 32 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 and reverse the rejection of claims 5-22 and
27-30 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.2
2In view of our affirmance of the rejection of claims 23-25 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b),
the rejection of these claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103, over the same references, is rendered
moot.
