THE REJECTION
Claims 10 through 22, 29 and 30 stand rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable over the combined disclosures of
Chen, Landau, and Ting.
OPINION
We have carefully reviewed the claims, specification, and
applied prior art, including all of the arguments advanced by
both the examiner and the appellants in support of their
respective positions. This review has led us to conclude that
the examiner’s Section 103 rejection is well founded.
Accordingly, we will sustain the examiner’s Section 103 rejection
for essentially those factual findings and conclusions set forth
in the Answer. We add the following primarily for emphasis and
completeness.
