          Appeal No. 2005-0562                                                         
          Application 09/824,276                                                       

          However, such an arrangement would clearly not result in a                   
          transmission assembly like that defined in the claims before us

          claims 11, 13 through 16 and 19 through 27 on appeal obvious to              
          one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of appellants’                  
          invention, we must refuse to sustain the examiner’s rejection of             
          those claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).
