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



          by Appellants with the necessary reasons to combine it                      
          with the support processor of Hester.  Therefore, we will not               
          sustain this rejection.                                                     


                    Claim 3                                                           
                    Claim 3 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 in                  
          view of Hester and Poret.  On page 5 of the brief, Appellants               
          set forth the only argument for this claim as follows: "[t]his              
          rejection of Claim 3 is traversed for the same reasons given                
          above (in Argument Section A) with respect to Claim 55."                    
          Thus,                                                                       
          Appellants have not argued anything in addition to that which               
          they argued for claim 55.  Therefore, we will sustain the                   
          rejection of claim 3 for the reasons set forth above for claim              
          55.                                                                         
          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.                                                                    

                                         20
