          Application No. 08/092,684                                                  


                    (f) computing a difference between said first                     
          velocity and said component of said second velocity;                        
                    (g) comparing said difference to a predetermined                  
          value; and                                                                  
                    (h) indicating a cycle slip error if said difference              
          exceeds said predetermined value.                                           


                                                                                     
                    The Examiner relies on the following references:                  
                    Yokouchi et al.     4,903,212           Feb. 20, 1990             
                    Appellant’s admitted prior art (APA)                              
                    Lapucha et al., “The Use of INS/GPS in a Highway                  
          Survey    System”, IEEE 1990, pp. 413-420. (Lapucha)                        

                    Claims 1 and 4 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103               
          as being unpatentable over Yokouchi in view of APA and                      
          Lapucha.                                                                    
                    Rather than reiterate the arguments of Appellant and              
          the Examiner, reference is made to the brief and answer for                 
          the respective details thereof.                                             
                                       OPINION                                        
                    After a careful review of the evidence before us, we              



                                          4
