The reference relied on by the Examiner are as follows:
Hess et al. (Hess) 5,122,812 Jun. 16, 1992
Tango 4,288,829 Sept. 8, 1981
Hawkins et al. (Hawkins) 5,081,473 Jan. 14, 1992
Rejection at Issue
Claims 1-6, 8-14, 16-20 and 222 stand rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Hess in view of Tango
and Hawkins.
2 The Examiner has mistakenly stated on page 3 that claims
1-22 are rejected as being unpatentable over Hess in view of
Tango and Hawkins. Additionally, Appellant states in footnote 2
of Appeal Brief, Paper No. 18, that claims 1-14, 16-20 and 22 are
in the application. However claim 7 was canceled in Paper No. 8
and has not been included in Appendix of the claims of Paper No.
18. Claims 15 and 21 were canceled in Paper No. 12.
