Scientific American, pages 94-104 (September 1991).
Claims 1 and 6-11 stand finally rejected under 35 U.S.C.
§ 102(e) as being anticipated by McCain. Claims 4, 12, and 1
13 stand finally rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103. As evidence
of obviousness, the Examiner offers McCain in view of More
with respect to claims 4 and 12, and McCain in view of Kannan
with respect to claim 13.
1Although the Examiner makes reference to the Weiser
publication in the “Response to argument” portion of the
Answer, the statement of the grounds of rejection relies on
McCain alone.
