Appeal No. 2005-1481
Application 10/236,601
Display monitor unit 10 can be mounted on a
reference surface 18. The reference surface, as shown
in FIG. 1, is a horizontal top surface, such as a
table. Alternatively, the reference surface may be a
vertical surface such as a wall (as shown in FIG. 3),
or an overhead surface such as a ceiling (as shown in
FIG. 4). Moreover, the reference surface may be at any
angle or inclination, such that the display monitor
unit may be mounted in a horizontal, vertical, angled
or upside down orientation. The term, reference
surface, herein, shall be used generally to refer to
any mounting surface of the display monitor unit of any
orientation [column 3, lines 11 through 30].
Rosen also briefly discusses the audio, video and power
inputs to the display monitor unit:
[a]udio, video and power inputs may be contained
within the display monitor unit. Alternatively, the
audio, video and power inputs may also extend directly
to the screen. In the depicted embodiment, the
mounting plate has an opening for the audio and power
inputs which run through base 12 and into the end of
proximal region 46 of arm 14 and up through distal
region 48 of arm 14 and into rear screen housing 60 of
screen 16. Moreover, base 12 may have a built in
antenna or battery power source. Base 12 may also
include a recessed plug for a tuner or other device
[column 6, lines 56 through 65].
As conceded by the examiner (see page 3 in the answer),
Rosen lacks response to the limitation in independent claim 1
requiring a helical cable wrap contained in the spindle assembly,
and to the corresponding limitations in independent claim 8
