          Appeal No. 2004-1677                                                         
          Application 09/028,726                                                       

          Claims 5 and 8-10                                                            
               Appellant argues that neither Wang nor ETSI cure the                    
          deficiencies of Chavez as to the independent claims (Br7; RBr2).             
          Since we find that Chavez does anticipate the independent claims,            
          this argument is not persuasive.                                             
               Appellant further argues that the examiner has not shown a              
          teaching or suggestion to combine the references (Br7).  The                 
          examiner did provide reasoning for combining the references                  
          (FR4-5).  Appellant has not attempted to point out the error in              
          that reasoning and the mere argument that there is no motivation             
          to combine is not persuasive of error.                                       
               For these reasons, we find that appellant has not shown                 
          error in the examiner's rejection.  The rejections of claims 5               
          and 8-10 are sustained.
