          Appeal No. 96-2520                                                          
          Application 07/891,852                                                      



          efficient conductor of heat.  Appellant does agree that Graham              
          does not require resinous                                                   




          cement but Graham's only teachings is a cement which is more                
          of a heat insulator than a heat conductor.                                  
                    Turning to Appellant's claim 10, we fail to find                  
          that the scope of the claim requires a heat conductor cement                
          as argued by Appellant.  Appellant's claim 10 recites "an                   
          electrically conductive coil attached to said cylindrical                   
          portion of said diaphragm, said coil transmits to said                      
          diaphragm heat generated by an acoustical current passing                   
          through said coil to quickly and efficiently dissipate heat                 
          generated by said coil through said metal diaphragm to said                 
          metal support unit."  Appellant's                                           
          claim 10 does not require an attachment means that transmit                 
          heat to the diaphragm.  Appellant's claim 10 only requires                  
          that the coil transmit heat to the metal diaphragm.                         
                    Sotome '124 and Graham teach a coil made of                       
          conductive material that would transfer heat quickly and
