Appeal No. 1996-3495 Application No. 08/321,941 “miniaturized” requires the module to be small enough to be concealable on a person’s body as in the dimensional range noted supra. The Eberwine patent does not expressly disclose any particular size for the module (1) containing the GPS receiver. Although it would be expected that Eberwine’s module is relatively small because of space constraints in an aircraft (note column 6, lines 9-10 of the Eberwine specification), there nevertheless is no disclosure, express or inherent, that Eberwine’s module is so small as to be concealable on a person’s body or, more particularly, “readily concealable” (claim 9, line 3; specification, page 5) as required in appellant’s invention. Furthermore, we agree with appellant that a description in Eberwine’s specification (see column 6, line 55) that the locating unit may be “mobile” does not necessarily mean that the unit is also “portable” as required in independent claim 9. According to Webster’s Third New International Dictionary (G. & C. Merriam Company, 1971), the word “portable” is defined as being “capable of being carried: easily or conveniently 5Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
