and the adapter plate as element 244 or 262. Once the claimed
invention is read on Hobbs in that manner, we agree with
appellants that the adapter plate does not have a plurality of
peripheral device mounting features located in the adapter plate
as claimed. We have also reviewed the examiner’s marked up copy
of the Hobbs drawings, but like appellants, we do not see how the
marked up drawings support the examiner’s position that the
claimed invention is fully met by the disclosure of Hobbs. The
examiner is clearly reading something material into the
identified assemblage of components from Hobbs, but we are unable
to divine from the rejection exactly how the examiner’s
interpretation of the claimed invention is met by Hobbs. If the
entire assemblage of Hobbs is the peripheral device as asserted
by the examiner, then it is not clear how the designated frame
extends around a plurality of peripheral devices as claimed.
