Appeal No. 96-2520
Application 07/891,852
page 1, right-hand column, lines 46-49, would interfere with
the heat transfer to the diaphragm. Because the Graham method
of attachment would result in the coils being in direct
contact with the diaphragm, the coils would transfer heat to
the diaphragm quickly and efficiently as claimed by Appellant.
In view of the foregoing, the decision of the
Examiner rejecting claims 4 and 5 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 and
rejecting claims 7 through 10 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is
affirmed; however, the decision of the Examiner rejecting
claims 1, 2, 11 and 12 is reversed.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in
connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR
§ 1.136(a).
