Norwood 5,063,600 Nov. 05, 1991
Cassorla et al.(Cassorla) 5,146,552 Sep. 08, 1992
Claims 1 through 24 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103
as being unpatentable over Norwood and Cassorla in view of
Barker.
Reference is made to the brief and answer for the
respective positions of appellant and the examiner.
OPINION
Since appellant does not appeal the rejection of the
independent claims, we assume that appellant does not dispute
the examiner’s application of the prior art against the
subject matter of these claims. Accordingly, we concentrate
on the limitations added to the independent claims by claims
3-5, 10-12, 15-17 and 22-24.
