          Appeal No. 2001-1390                                                           
          Application No. 08/922,599                                                     


          declarant does not appreciate that the broad language of claim 1               
          does not require the specific processing (calculating)                         
          methodology disclosed in the present application.  Thus, the                   
          teaching of Peryam, as a whole, would have been suggestive of the              
          claim 1 method, as indicated above.                                            


               In summary, this panel of the board has sustained the                     
          rejection of claims 1 and 6 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).                          


               The decision of the examiner is affirmed.                                 





















                                           8
