          Appeal No. 97-0802                                                          
          Application 08/414,112                                                      

               Appellant argues that Ellis "fails to teach or suggest                 
          the placement of the programmable keyboard on the front                     
          windshield of a car" (Br11).  Appellant further argues that                 
          the keyboard in Ellis has three non-transparent area for                    
          selecting which liquid crystal member 7, 8, or 9 provides the               
          labeling for the transparent keyboard and that these non-                   
          transparent areas "would be dangerous if placed on the front                
          windshield of a car" (Br11).  Appellant still further argues                
          that there would have been no motivation to combine the                     
          teachings of the applied prior art in the manner contemplated               
          by the Examiner (Br12-13).
