          Appeal No. 2000-0435                                                        
          Application No. 08/614,930                                                  

          signal pulses transmitted at periodic intervals . . . by the                
          transmitter” 101 (Figures 1 and 2), and it is this “data                    
          (containing use restrictions)” that is transmitted to the receiver          
          in the vehicle (request, page 4).                                           
               In Dortenzio, the range of the vehicle from the transmitter is         
          a use restriction that is similar to the “exceeding a fixed maximum         
          travel distance” disclosed by appellants (specification, page 9;            
          request, page 2).  In summary, the teachings of Dortenzio satisfy           
          all of the claimed limitations (request, page 4).                           
               Appellants’ request has been granted to the extent that our            
          decision has been reconsidered, but such request is denied with             
          respect to making any modifications to the decision.
