simplified versions of application software. In column 2,
lines 45-58, Clark further emphasizes that their invention is
concerned with a small hand held computer which includes
personal type computing software. We fail to find that Clark
teaches or suggests using his hand held computer system to
control a distributed control system for controlling material
flow within an industrial process. Furthermore, Clark does
not suggest or teach the use of the system to provide
redundant two-way wireless communication for such a system.
Therefore, we find that the Examiner has failed to show that
one of ordinary skill in the art would have been reasonably
expected to use the Clark system for automatic synchronization
of common files between portable computer and a host computer
to provide a redundant two-way wireless communication for a
distributed control system for controlling material flow
within an industrial process.
In view of the foregoing, we have not sustained the
rejection of claims 2 through 12 and 14 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
Accordingly, the Examiner's decision is reversed.
REVERSED
