          Appeal No. 94-3053                                                          
          Application 07/832,661                                                      



          any such burden, 37 CFR § 1.192, and declines to look beyond                
          that argued by Appellants in their brief in this case.                      


                    Group (3) - representative claim 23                               
                    Claim 23 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 in                 
          view of Hester and Poret.  The extent of Appellants’ argument               
          for this group is "[t]hese rejections of Claims 23-26 are                   
          traversed for the same reasons given above (in Argument                     
          Section A) with respect to Claim 60."  Brief at page 5.  Thus,              
          since Appellants have not                                                   
          argued anything in addition to that which they argued for                   
          claim 60, the rejection of claim 23 is also sustained for the               
          reasons set forth above for claim 60.  This board declines to               
          look beyond that which has been argued by Appellants.  Baxter,              
          952 F.2d at 391, 21 USPQ2d at 1285; 37 CFR § 1.192.                         


                    Group (4) - representative claim 4                                
                    Claim 4 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 in                  
          view of Hester and Zaks.  The extent of Appellants’ argument
