DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from
the Examiner's final rejection of claims 1 to 3, and 5 to 10.1
Claim 4 has been canceled.
1The two rejections in the final rejection on two
separate combinations of the references were replaced in the
Examiner's answer by a single rejection based on a combination
of the references used in the final rejection. Appellants
have had an opportunity to respond, and have responded, to
this rejection. Therefore, for the purpose of this appeal the
rejection based on the combination of Rasmussen, Endo and
Nokia is considered.
