          Application No. 08/654,502                                                  


          together the teachings of the prior art so that the claimed                 
          invention is rendered obvious.”  Id. at 1266, 23 USPQ2d at                  
          1784, (citing In re Gorman, 933 F.2d 982, 987, 18 USPQ2d 1885,              
          1888 (Fed. Cir. 1991)).                                                     


               Turning to the claims, we note that claims 30-38 each                  
          specify in pertinent part the following limitations:                        
                    a first communication circuit contained in a                      
               first                                                                  
                         housing and configured for two-way speech                    
                         communication according to a first                           
                         communication protocol; and                                  
                    a second communication circuit contained in a                     
                         second housing and configured for two-way                    
                         speech communication according to a second                   
                         communication protocol ....                                  
          Similarly, claims 39-45 each specify in pertinent part the                  
          following limitations:                                                      
                    a first housing containing a first communication                  
                         circuit configured for two-way                               
                         communication of speech information                          
                         according to a first communication                           
                         protocol; and                                                
                    a second housing containing a second                              
               communication                                                          
                         circuit configured for two-way                               
                         communication of speech information                          
                         according to a second communication                          
                         protocol ....
