          Appeal No. 1995-3030                                      Page 15           
          Application No. 08/073,091                                                  


          from decryption function 42 which was read from the                         
          credentials card 3 with the information obtained from one or                
          more of the physical trait input devices 31 through 34."  Col.              
          8, ll. 50-55.  "The result of this comparison is the decision               
          whether the user 2 is physically the same                                   
          individual as that described on the media card 3."  Id. at                  
          ll. 58-61.                                                                  


               The examiner fails to allege, let alone show, that                     
          Everett, Petajan, Maeda, Bokser, or Clark cures the deficiency              
          of Piosenka.  Because Piosenka performs personal                            
          identification rather than message recognition, we are not                  
          persuaded that teachings from the prior art anticipate or                   
          would have suggested the aforementioned limitations.                        
          Therefore, we reverse the rejection of claims 44, 55, 56, 62,               
          63, 74, 84, 85, 87, and 89 as anticipated by Piosenka; the                  
          rejection of claims 45, 64, and 75  as obvious over Piosenka                
          in view of Everett; the rejection of claims 46, 65, and 76 as               
          obvious over Piosenka in view of Petajan; the rejection of                  
          claims 47, 48, 51, 52, 57, 58, 66, 67, 70, 77-79, 86, and 88
