          Appeal No. 2003-0661                                                        
          Application 09/032,622                                                      





               With respect to claims 30 and 40, both explicitly require              
          calculation of an actual transmission rate of the cells and their           
          rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed for the reasons                 
          discussed above with respect to claim 34.  Claim 21, requires               
          calculation of a transmission rate of the cells, but does not               
          explicitly require “actual”.  However we find, “actual                      
          transmission rate” is implicit in claim 21, and the rejection               
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed for the reasons discussed above           
          with respect to claim 34.
