argument fails for the same reasons as pointed out above with
respect to the rejection utilizing Dunn.
For the reasons stated above, the decision of the
examiner to reject claim 20 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) is
affirmed.
Claims 22, 23, 25-28, 30, 31, 33-35, 46/20, and 46/28
The appellants have grouped claims 20, 22, 23, 25-28, 30,
31, 33-35, 46/20, and 46/28 as standing or falling together. 10
Thereby, in accordance with 37 CFR § 1.192(c)(7), claims 22,
23, 25-28, 30, 31, 33-35, 46/20, and 46/28 fall with claim 20.
Thus, it follows that the decision of the examiner to reject
claims 22, 23, 25-28, 30, 31, 33-35, 46/20, and 46/28 under 35
U.S.C.
§ 102(b) is also affirmed.
