Appeal No. 2000-1413
Application No. 08/650,883
Claims 6, 9, 11, 30 and 32 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 as being unpatentable over Yellott in view of Wilson.1
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced
by the examiner and appellant regarding the above-noted
rejections, we refer to the examiner's answer (Paper No. 30,
mailed March 8, 2000) and to appellant's brief (Paper No. 29,
filed January 24, 2000) for a full exposition thereof.

Having carefully reviewed the anticipation and
obviousness issues raised in this appeal in light of the
record before us, we have come to the conclusion that the
examiner's rejections of the appealed claims under 35 U.S.C. §
102(b) and § 103 will not be sustained. Our reasoning in
support of these determinations follows.
1 As noted on page 4 of the examiner's answer, the
rejections of claims 2, 4, 9, 11 and 29 through 34 under 35
U.S.C. § 102(b) as anticipated by Wilson and of claim 6 under
35 U.S.C. § 103 relying on Wilson alone as set forth in the
final rejection (Paper No. 25) have been rescinded or
withdrawn by the examiner.
