          Application No. 08/639,815                                                  


          characteristics different from the timekeeping DC pulse.  A                 
          time correction output 38 is provided and is tailored to the                
          characteristics of this DC signal so that the signal is                     
          conveyed from output 38 to the feather switch 35."  Col. 3, l.              
          65, - col. 4, l. 3.                                                         


               Because Van Orsdel teaches a vehicle providing update                  
          information, we affirm the rejection of claim 4 as obvious                  
          over DeLuca in view of Van Orsdel.  Our affirmance is based                 
          only on the arguments made in the brief.  Arguments not made                
          therein are not before us, are not at issue, and are                        
          considered waived.                                                          


                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               In summary, the rejection of claims 1, 2, 8-11, and 14                 
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as obvious over DeLuca in view of Van                 
          Orsdel is reversed.  The rejection of claim 4 under § 103 as                
          obvious over DeLuca in view of Van Orsdel, however, is                      
          affirmed.
