Appeal No. 2001-0950 Application No. 08/534,855 rejection of claim 19 based on the reasoning for sustaining the rejection of claim 1. For claim 21, Appellants argue that there is no teaching or suggestion in Stengel that bit error rate could be determined by "comparing known bits of TEI overhead messages with received bits of the TEI overhead messages." See Appeal Brief, Page 7, lines 21-24. Upon review, we fail to find any evidence that Stengel teaches or suggests the use of known bits of TEI overhead messages. For claim 28, Appellants further argue that there is no teaching or suggestion in Stengel of "a transmission control mechanism for arranging the plurality of TEI messages in a continuous group" let alone of "beginning said group of TEI messages with a unique TEI message and ending said group of TEI messages with a second unique TEI message." See Appeal Brief, Page 7, lines 19-26 and Page 8, lines 1-4. Upon review, we fail to find any evidence that Stengel teaches or suggests a transmission control mechanism for arranging the plurality of TEI messages in a continuous group and for beginning the group of TEI messages with a unique TEI message and ending the group of TEI messages with a second TEI message. 6Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
