          Appeal No. 95-4838                                                          
          Application No. 08/131,643                                                  


          final rejection dated September 20, 1994, Paper No. 4, which                
          are all of the claims in the case.                                          
                                    THE INVENTION                                     
               Appellants’ invention is directed to a submicron filter                
          assembly connected to an exhaust gas destruction unit.  The                 
          submicron filter unit filters submicron particles out of                    
          treated exhaust gas and has an output connected thereto.                    
          Claim 1 is illustrative of appellants’ invention and is                     
          reproduced below.                                                           

               1.   A device, comprising:                                             
               an input coupled to receive at least one exhaust gas;                  
               an exhaust gas destruction unit connected to said input                
          for treating said at least one exhaust gas;                                 
               a submicron filter assembly connected to said exhaust gas              
          destruction unit for filtering submicron particulates out of                
          said treated exhaust gas; and                                               
               an output connected to said submicron filter assembly.                 



                              THE REFERENCES OF RECORD                                
               As evidence of obviousness, the examiner relies upon the               
          following references:
