Bauer also fails to teach or suggest a controller for increasing the viscosity of the
magneto-rheological fluid of a seat belt damper wherein the increased viscosity permits
some unwinding of the seat belt and thus provides no cure for the deficiency of the

cannot sustain the rejection of claim 12 as being unpatentable over Blake in view of
Carlson, Karlow and Bauer.
