                                        (Filed August 2, 1993)                        
                              The Rejections on Appeal                                
               In the final Office action, the examiner rejected all claims           
          1-30 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Marko and             
          Capps.  In the examiner’s answer, the examiner re-stated the                
          rejection as follows:                                                       
                    Claims 1-6, 11, 14, 15 and 17-29 are rejected                     
               under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Marko                 
               et al. (5,361,628).  (Answer at 4)                                     
                    Claims 12, 13 and 30 are rejected under 35 U.S.C.                 
               § 103 as being unpatentable over Marko et al.                          
               (5,361,628) in view of Capps (4,643,023).  (Answer                     
               at 7)                                                                  
          In the examiner’s answer, claims 7-10 and 16 are indicated as               
          containing allowable subject matter but depending from a rejected           
          claim.  (Answer at 1)                                                       
               We regard the rejections on appeal as those stated by the              
          examiner in the examiner’s answer.                                          
                                    The Invention                                     
               The invention is directed to a method and apparatus for                
          processing measurements taken from an internal combustion engine
