ON BRIEF
___________
Before GARRIS, OWENS and DELMENDO, Administrative Patent Judges.
OWENS, Administrative Patent Judge.
ON REQUEST FOR REHEARING
The appellant requests reconsideration of our decision
mailed on October 9, 2002, wherein we affirmed the rejection of
claims 14-20 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Ravi in view of Bartha.
The appellant argues that our decision fails to provide a
motivation for making an apparatus having a mixed frequency RF
generator and sources of silicon and carbon, and a reasonable
expectation of success in doing so (request, page 2).
