          Application No. 08/482,556                                                  


          capacitor in series with a switch.”  Therefore, we affirm the               
          rejection of claims 34 and 41 as being anticipated by Hebert.               


               Our affirmances are based only on the arguments made in                
          the briefs.  Arguments not made therein are neither before us               
          nor at issue but are considered waived.                                     


                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               In summary, the rejection of claims 33-36 and 40-43 under              
          the judicially created doctrine of double patenting is                      
          reversed.  The rejection of claims 33, 34, 40, and 41 under 35              
          U.S.C. § 102(b), however, is affirmed.
