Appeal No. 2005-2437
Application No. 09/682,642
OPINION
We affirm the aforementioned rejections.
2 The examiner also relies upon US 5,576,588 to Moribayashi et al. and US
4,440,033 to Kurihara (answer, pages 6 and 8. Because those references are not
included in the statement of a rejection, they are not properly before us. Accordingly,
we have not considered those references in reaching our decision. See In re Hoch,
428 F.2d 1341, 1342 n.3, 166 USPQ 406, 407 n.3 (CCPA 1970).
