Appeal No. 95-3175
Application 08/124,361
Whitaker to an external computer in view of the teaching in Webb at column 1, lines 34-37, because that
would allow working on the data outside the vehicle and would allow the main program to be on the
external computer. The transfer circuitry does not have to be a cable as shown in appellants' figure 1.
Webb discloses that "[d]ata can be provided to a disc memory" (column 1, line 68), which would permit
the disc to be taken to another computer.
CONCLUSION
The rejections of claims 15-19, 26-27, and 31 are reversed.
A new ground of rejection is entered against claim 15 pursuant to 37 CFR § 1.196(b).
Any request for reconsideration or modification of this decision by the Board of Patent Appeals
and Interferences based upon the same record must be filed within one month from the date of the decision.
