1994
filed Aug. 2, 1993.
Claims 1-5 and 12-16 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
obvious over Capps in view of Shojima. Claims 6-11 and 17
stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as obvious over Capps in
view of
Shojima further in view of Agulnick. Rather than repeat the
arguments of the appellants or examiner in toto, we refer the
reader to the briefs and answer for the respective details1
thereof.
OPINION
In deciding this appeal, we considered the subject matter
on appeal and the rejection advanced by the examiner.
Furthermore, we duly considered the arguments and evidence of
the appellants and examiner. After considering the totality
of the record, we are persuaded that the examiner did not err
in rejecting claims 1, 12, 13, and 16. We are also persuaded,
1We rely on and refer to the amended appeal brief, (Paper
No. 23), in lieu of the original appeal brief, (Paper No. 15),
because the latter was defective. (Paper No. 22.)
