Application No. 08/972,852
The following rejections are before us for review.2
Claims 1, 5 through 7, 10 through 15, 17, 18, and 20
through 22 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being
anticipated by Simon.
Claims 2 through 4 and 9 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 as being unpatentable over Simon.
Claim 19 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being
unpatentable over Simon in view of Abraham.
Claims 1, 7, 13, 14, 16 through 18, and 20 through 22
stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable
over Walker.
Claim 19 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being
unpatentable over Walker in view of Abraham.
2A final rejection of claims 22 through 26 under 35
U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, was obviously rendered moot and
withdrawn by the examiner since claims 22 through 26 were
canceled after the final rejection.
