          Application No. 08/950,130                                                  


          brief (pp. 1-2), the appellants state that they do not find                 
          support for the examiner's position that Cook teaches that                  
          "LOW PBM has different values at low and high speeds."                      


               After reviewing the teachings of Cook, especially those                
          portions cited by the examiner, we find ourselves in agreement              
          with the appellants' position that Cook does not teach that                 
          LOWPBM has different values at low and high speeds (i.e., dual              
          pressure bias modulation thresholds wherein one threshold is                
          active at low wheelspeeds and the other threshold is active at              
          high wheelspeeds).  Thus, the modification to Cook found by                 
          the examiner to have been obvious does not arrive at the
