against the examiner’s anticipation rejection based on the
features of independent claim 43. Of course, we find those
arguments unpersuasive for the reasons advanced above and in the
answer. Consequently, we shall also affirm the examiner’s
obviousness rejection of claims 45-47, 49-51, 54, 55, 57-63 and
65 over Shamshoum, on this record.
CONCLUSION
The decision of the examiner to reject claims 43, 44, 48,
52, 53, 56, 64 and 66-71 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being
unpatentable over Shamshoum; and to reject claims 45-47, 49-51,
54, 55, 57-63 and 65 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being
unpatentable over Shamshoum is affirmed.
