          Appeal No. 2001-0302                                                        
          Application No. 08/635,614                                                  
          further in view of Milby or Parker (rejection (f)).  In the                 
          present case, it is not apparent to us, and the examiner has not            
          explained, where the range of deformation values *b for the                 
          torque limiter member called for in the last paragraph of claim             
          1 is taught or suggested by Milby and/or Parker.  For this                  
          reason, Milby and Parker, taken either collectively or                      
          individually, do not make up for the deficiencies of Ito, Takaoka           
          and Wehr discussed above.  Therefore, rejections (e) and (f) also           
          shall not be sustained.
