          Appeal No. 1998-1509                                                        
          Application No. 07/811,509                                                  


               The Mandl reference is of no help in providing for the                 
          deficiencies of Launey as Mandl does not suggest any such set               
          of addressable control functions, Mandl being employed by the               
          examiner for its teaching of an “energy save” mode.                         
               Accordingly, the examiner’s decision rejecting claims 1,               
          3-6, 12-16, 25-28 and 30-32 under 35 U.S.C. 103 is reversed.                


                                      REVERSED
