Appeal No. 1998-3342 Page 3
Application No. 08/540,943
Claim 1, which is representative for our purposes,
follows:
1. In a radio frequency tracking system comprising
a plurality of transmitters and a receiver, the
receiver having an antenna, a method comprising the
step of:
adjusting a reception range of the antenna by
changing attenuation of signals applied to the
receiver, by the steps including;
if the reception range is less than a
desired reception range, decreasing attenuation;
and
if the reception range exceeds the desired
reception range, increasing attenuation.
The prior art of record applied on in rejecting the
claims follows:
Sasaki 4,553,105 Nov. 12,
1985.
Claims 1-6 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being
obvious over Sasaki. Rather than reiterate the arguments of
the appellants or examiner in toto, we refer the reader to the
brief and answer for the respective details thereof.
