          Appeal No. 2004-0557                                                        
          Application No. 08/829,187                                                  

          Claim 7                                                                     
               Claim 7 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being                 
          unpatentable over Amano in view of Buchin. As discussed supra,              
          Amano alone does not teach or suggest a noise reduction system              
          that combines two non-noise-reduced signals. The examiner has not           
          shown, nor do we find, that Buchin remedies the shortcomings of             
          Amano. Therefore, we will not sustain the obviousness rejection             
          of claim 7 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                                           


























                                          7
