CONCLUSION OF LAW With respect to independent claim 27, as well as claims 28, 29, 32, 75-77, 79, and 80 not separately argued by Appellants, the Examiner has established a prima facie case of anticipation based on the teachings of Ha which has not been overcome by any convincing arguments from Appellants.
