          Appeal No. 95-3592                                                          
          Application 08/109,203                                                      



                    appellant will rely to maintain the appeal.                       
                    Any arguments or authorities not included                         
                    in the brief may be refused consideration                         
                    by the Board of Patent Appeals and                                
                    Interferences.                                                    
          Also, 37 CFR § 1.192(c)(6)(iii) states:                                     
                    For each rejection under 35 U.S.C. 102, the                       
                    argument shall specify the errors in the                          




                    rejection and why the rejected claims are                         
                    patentable under 35 U.S.C. 102, including                         
                    any specific limitations in the rejected                          
                    claims which are not described in the prior                       
                    art relied upon in the rejection.                                 
          Thus, 37 CFR § 1.192 provides that just as the court is not                 
          under any burden to raise and/or consider such issues, this                 
          board is not under any greater burden.                                      
                    In view of the foregoing, the decision of the                     
          Examiner rejecting claims 1 through 4, 6 through 10, 17                     
          through 19 and 21 through 23 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 as being                 
          anticipated by Shirato or in the alternative under 35 U.S.C. §              
          103 as being unpatentable over Shirato is affirmed.                         
                    No time period for taking any subsequent action in                
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
                                         12
