          Appeal No. 2000-1476                                                        
          Application 08/801,918                                                      


          Figure 1 in the reference depicts the display unit 7 and the                
          CPU 8 as being separate from the cab control unit 1, and                    
          columns 5 and 6 in the reference describe the display unit as               
          being used to display a set-up screen for pre-selecting and                 
          downloading certain variables into the CPU and a run-time                   
          screen for showing various operating parameters.                            


               As conceded by the examiner (see page 2 in the final                   
          rejection and page 3 in the answer), Skantar does not respond               
          to the limitations in independent claims 1, 16 and 22                       
          requiring the display (or display means) to instantly display               
          the desired braking action (or brake action pressure) as a                  
          function of the determined position of the brake operator (or               
          brake operator means).                                                      


               As persuasively argued by the appellants (see pages 7 and              
          10 in the main brief ), Skantar also fails to respond to the                
          limitations in claims 1 and 16 requiring the display (or                    
          display means) and the electronic controller (or controller                 
          means) to be in or on the discrete housing (or housing means)               
          which mounts the brake operator (or brake operator means).                  
                                          6
