The references and grounds of rejection
The references named in the two grounds of rejection are:
Patrick et al. (Patrick) 4,542,453
Sept. 17, 1985
Yamaguchi et al. (Yamaguchi) 5,051,897
Sept. 24, 1991
Takahashi 58-16350 Jan.
31, 1983
(Japanese patent application)
Consistent with the examiner and appellants, we will refer to
the Takahashi reference as "Denki," which is the name of the
applicant rather than the name of the inventor. Our
understanding of this reference is based on a translation
(copy attached) obtained by the PTO after the Notice of Appeal
was filed.
Claims 14-20, 22, and 23 stand rejected under § 103 for
obviousness over Denki.
