The Examiner relies on the following prior art:
Hsieh 4,902,910 Feb. 20,
1990
Claim 12 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second
paragraph, for failing to particularly point out and
distinctly claim the invention. Claims 1 and 7 stand rejected
under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being anticipated by Hsieh.
Claims 2-4 and
8-10 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being
unpatentable over Hsieh.
Rather than reiterate the arguments of Appellants and the
Examiner, reference is made to the Briefs and Answers for the 2
respective details thereof.
