removing the fill nozzle and closing the receptacle,
the method comprising the steps of:
measuring pressure with respect to said
receptacle to obtain a trace of pressure as a
function of time which is characteristic for a
tanking operation; and,
concluding that a tanking operation is present
from said trace.
The reference relied on in rejecting the claims follows:
Fujino 5,193,5111 Mar. 16, 1993.
Claims 1-9 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious
over Fujino. Rather than repeat the arguments of the
appellant or examiner in toto, we refer the reader to the
brief and answer for the respective details thereof.
OPINION
In deciding this appeal, we considered the subject matter
on appeal and the rejection advanced by the examiner.
Furthermore, we duly considered the arguments and evidence of
the appellant and examiner. After considering the record, we
are persuaded that the examiner erred in rejecting claims 1-9.
Accordingly, we reverse.
