which computer is located on the golf cart. See, e.g., drawing
figures 1 and 2, column 3, lines 64 through column 4, line 21 and
claim 1 of Bonito.
While Bonito indicates that the computer and display monitor
associated therewith may be installed on the dashboard of the
golf cart as illustrated in figure 1, one of ordinary skill in
the art would have recognized that Bonito does not require any
particular installation location for the mobile computer so long
as the mobile computer is located on the golf cart. See, e.g.,
claim 1, item b of Bonito wherein the computer is recited as
being coupled to a golf cart without specifying a particular
location for the coupling.
As correctly found by the examiner, Dillon (the other
applied reference) discloses that mounting electronic equipment
in vehicles, such a police vehicles, on the underside of the roof
or ceiling of the vehicle results in several advantages including
the avoidance of a knee hazard associated with the prior art
mounting of such electronic equipment near the vehicle dashboard.
Given the additional disclosure of Dillon, we agree with the
examiner that one of ordinary skill in the art would have been
reasonably led to mount the computer equipment, including the
display monitor of Bonito on the underside of the golf cart roof
