              augmented search; and

                                         THE REFERENCES                                              
                    The Examiner relies upon the following references as evidence of                 
              anticipation and unpatentability:                                                      
              Barr    US 5,873,076   Feb. 16, 1999                                                   
              Liddy    US 5,963,940    Oct. 5, 1999                                                  

                                         THE REJECTIONS                                              
                    The following rejections are on appeal before us:                                
                    1. Claims 1-32 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being                  
                       anticipated by Liddy.                                                         
                    2. Claim 33 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being                    
                       unpatentable over the teachings of Liddy in view of Barr.                     

                    Rather than repeat the arguments of Appellants or the Examiner, we               
              make reference to the Brief and the Answer for the respective details thereof.         

                                             OPINION                                                 
                    Only those arguments actually made by Appellants have been                       
              considered in this decision.  It is our view, after consideration of the record        
              before us, that the evidence relied upon supports the Examiner’s rejection of          
              the claims on appeal.  Accordingly, we affirm.                                         



                                                 3
