1990
Claims 1 through 15 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112,
second paragraph, as being indefinite. Claims 1, 2, 5 through
9 and 12 through 15 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102 as
being anticipated by Erickson. Claim 3 stands rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 102 as anticipated by or, in the alternative,
under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 as obvious over Erickson. Claim 4 stands rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Erickson in view of
acknowledged prior art. Claims 10 and 11 stand rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable over Erickson.
Rather than repeat the arguments of Appellants or the
Examiner, we make reference to the brief and the answer for
the respective details thereof.
OPINION
After a careful review of the evidence before us, we
agree with the Examiner that claims 1 through 15 are properly
rejected under at least one of 35 U.S.C. § 112, second
