              Appeal No. 1998-1914                                                                                         
              Application No. 08/528,130                                                                                   

              associated conductor 13, which in turn produces a glow in the phosphor lying between the                     
              conductor 13 and underlying conductive layer 11.                                                             
                     Hurvitz thus fails to disclose sequentially applying an input RF signal to                            
              selected individual filters.  Additionally, there is no disclosed way for comparing the                      
              magnitude of the input signal to each individual one of the determined magnitudes of the                     
              individual filter output signals.  The second embodiment of Hurvitz (Fig. 5) suffers the same                
              deficiencies as the embodiment we have described.  We therefore do not sustain the                           
              section 102 rejection of claim 10 over Hurvitz.                                                              


                                                     CONCLUSION                                                            
                     The examiner’s decision in rejecting claims 1, 4, 5, 10, and 11 is reversed.
