                  Application No. 09/801,093                                                                                                              


                           We turn lastly to the rejection of claims 11 and 13 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as                                                   
                  being unpatentable over Hall.  As we discussed above, it is our view that Hall does not                                                 
                  disclose the limitation recited in claim 7 of transmitting a second signal when the first                                               
                  location is equal to a first predetermined location.  In addition, it is our view that Hall                                             
                  does not suggest a first predetermined location.  As such, we will not sustain this                                                     
                  rejection.                                                                                                                              
                           The decision of the examiner is reversed.
