Appeal No. 1997-3580
Application 08/400,002
Claims 5, 7, 12, 13 and 15-17 stand rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 103. As evidence of obviousness the examiner
offers Walls in view of Sathi with respect to claims 5, 7 and
17, and the examiner adds Johnson to this combination with
respect to claims 12, 13, 15 and 16.
Rather than repeat the arguments of appellant or the
examiner, we make reference to the brief and the answer for
the respective details thereof.
OPINION
We have carefully considered the subject matter on
appeal, the rejections advanced by the examiner and the
evidence of obviousness relied upon by the examiner as support
for the rejections. We have, likewise, reviewed and taken
into consideration, in reaching our decision, the appellant’s
arguments set forth in the brief along with the examiner’s
rationale in support of the rejections and arguments in
rebuttal set forth in the examiner’s answer.
It is our view, after consideration of the record
