Appeal No. 1996-1141
Application 08/109,166
direction of the third flow does not support the now claimed language of “approximately 90°
or more.” Accordingly, we sustain the examiner’s rejection of claims 30-39 under 35
U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph, as not finding descriptive support in the specification as
originally filed.
CONCLUSIONS
We affirm the rejection of claims 30-39 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph. We
reverse the rejection of claims 24 and 25 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph; the
rejection of claims 20-29 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over the combination of Soneta and
Coldren and the rejection of claims 20-39 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable
over Soneta, Coldren, and Shaw.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal may
be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136( a).
