               This is a decision on appeal from the examiner’s final                 
          rejection of claims 8-17, which are all of the claims pending in            
          this application.                                                           
                                     BACKGROUND                                       
               Appellant’s invention relates to a chart recorder including            
          a housing including a digitizer and multiple movable arms having            
          digitizer detectable elements mounted in the housing.  An                   
          understanding of the invention can be derived from a reading of             
          exemplary claim 8, which is reproduced below.
