24. The reference does not teach the scratch memory as
claimed. Rosenthal does not cure this deficiency. Therefore,
we reverse the rejections of claims 30, 40, and 48. Next and
last, we address the obviousness of claims 49-51.
Claims 49-51
Regarding claims 49-51, the appellants rely on the
arguments advanced for claims 26-28, 31-37, and 47. We
rejected these arguments for the aforementioned reasons. The
pertinent limitations of claims 49-51 are substantially
similar to those of claims 26-28, 31-37, and 47. Accordingly,
we reject the arguments as applied to claims 49-51 for the
same reasons. Therefore, we affirm the rejection of claims
49-51.
We end by noting that the aforementioned affirmances are
based only on the arguments made in the briefs. Arguments not
raised therein are not before us, are not at issue, and are
thus considered waived.
