Appeal No. 1998-1365 Page 4
Application No. 08/663,969
The references relied on in rejecting the claims follow:
Marshall et al. (Marshall) 4,843,617 June 27, 1989
Vanderspool, II et al. 5,398,263 Mar. 14,
1995.
(Vanderspool)
Claims 27, 28, 31-33, 35-37, 40-42, and 44 stand rejected
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as obvious over Marshall in view of
Vanderspool. Rather than repeat the arguments of the
appellants or examiner in toto, we refer the reader to the
brief and answer for the respective details thereof.
OPINION
In reaching our decision in this appeal, we considered
the subject matter on appeal and the rejections 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 27, 28, 31-33,
35-37, 40-42, and 44. Accordingly, we affirm. Our opinion
addresses the grouping and obviousness of the claims.
