attribute (a property of the mapper chosen by the user) changes,
the values are gathered up by the semantic link and are used as
parameters to the function of the second object” [column 8, lines
61-64]. Thus, the mapper object appears to have a trigger
attribute. Mitchell also states that “[u]sing the direction
attribute that was stored in the mapper’s properties, the code
determines which side(s) need probes” [column 23, lines 19-20].
Thus, it appears that the mapper object may also have a direction
attribute. Based upon the record before us, we are of the view
that the examiner’s position that the mapper object of Mitchell
is without data attributes is unsupported.
