                  Appeal No. 2006-0439                                                                                         
                  Application 09/765,754                                                                                       


                  the context of meaning of the use of these concepts.  Essentially, they relate to the                        
                  same teachings appellants’ specification has prospectively made as just noted, as well                       
                  as the earlier-noted teachings in Fazel of various types of modulation schemes and                           
                  uses we have pointed out earlier in this opinion.  With respect to a particular choice of                    
                  level 5 or 4 as recited in claims 21 and 22, respectively, in addition to the respective                     
                  ranges noted there, we agree with the examiner’s view that it would have be obvious                          
                  to have optimized the choice of levels (result effective variables) in these respective                      
                  ranges for a given environment of use to the extent noted in the answer.                                     
                          In view of the foregoing, we affirm the examiner’s rejections of various claims                      
                  under 35 U.S.C. § 102 and 35 U.S.C. § 103.                                                                   























                                                              8
