Appeal No. 96-1869
Application 08/086,494
Miles disclosures as regards the lack of a teaching of or
suggestion for the claimed feature of a slot element having a
cavity comprising a housing for a glide slope antenna and a
volume of an aircraft landing gear door. Thus, the rejection
of independent claims 3 and 11, and claims dependent
therefrom, must be reversed.
The rejection of claims 1 and 2 is also reversed.
Independent claim 1 requires, inter alia, a glide slope
antenna disposed “on” the leading edge of a nose gear door,
and an electromagnetic window for coupling radio frequency
energy “into” the nose gear door. Simply stated, the
collective teachings of Stapleton, Noble, Miles, and Young,
would not have suggested a glide slope antenna disposed “on”
the leading edge of a nose gear door, and an electromagnetic
window for coupling radio frequency energy “into” the nose
gear door, as claimed.
The rejection of independent claims 9, 10, and 16 is
reversed for the procedural reason that follows.
