          Appeal No. 1997-2150                                                        
          Application No. 08/350,777                                                  


          As Thorsten fails to cure this deficiency, we must reverse the              
          rejection of claims 5 and 6.                                                
               Claim 12 is the only claim which does not recite the                   
          image generation apparatus's producing less than 15 fL.                     
          Instead claim 12 recites three hollow bodies with a miniature               
          virtual display in each of the second and third hollow bodies.              
          The examiner applies Villa-Real and Wells for a portable                    
          transceiver device with a miniature virtual display as                      
          discussed above, and adds Becker for its disclosure of using                
          two miniature virtual displays for providing 3-D images (see                
          column 2, lines 18-21).  The examiner further adds                          
          Brandenstein for a third hollow body.  Brandenstein shows in                
          Figures 1-3 three hollow bodies hingedly attached, which he                 
          explains (translation, page 9) is for small and easily handled              
          dimensions when the phone is not in use.  Brandenstein places               
          a small direct view display, similar to that used by Villa-                 
          Real, in the second section, since it is the largest part (see              
          translation, page 10).  Nowhere, however, does Brandenstein or              
          any of the other applied references suggest placing one                     
          display in each of the second and third hollow bodies.  If                  
          anything, Brandenstein would suggest placing the second                     
                                          9
