                 Appeal 2006-2624                                                                                   
                 Application 10/223,246                                                                             

                       a transmitter for emitting a radio signal to a corresponding receiver;                       
                       a transmitter power detector coupled to the transmitter detecting TSS                        
                 (transmitted Signal Strength) of the radio signal emitted from the                                 
                 transmitter; and                                                                                   
                                                                                                                   
                       an indicator, coupled to the transmitted power detector, for indicating                      
                 a TSSI (transmitted Signal Strength indication) according to the TSS,                              
                 thereby warning a user adjacent to the transmitter.                                                
                       The following references are relied on by the Examiner:                                      
                 Durkota    US 5,396,255  Mar.  7, 1995                                                             
                 Park     US 5,818,402  Oct.   6, 1998                                                              
                 Nakanishi    US 5,832,373                   Nov.  3, 1998                                          
                 Jensen    US 6,216,012 B1  Apr. 10, 2001                                                           
                 Maia, Fred. “General Radiotelephone Operator License”, Copyright 1994,                             
                 page 162.                                                                                          
                       All claims on appeal, claims 1 through 23 and 25 stand rejected under                        
                 35 U.S.C. § 103.  As evidence of obviousness as to claims 1, 4, 6 through                          
                 10, 13, 15 through 23 and 25, the Examiner relies upon Nakanishi in view of                        
                 Durkota, and further in view of Maia.1  To this initial combination of                             
                 references the Examiner adds Jensen as to claims 2, 3, 11 and 12 and                               
                 separately adds Park as to claims 5 and 14.                                                        



                                                                                                                   
                 1 The Examiner’s statement of the rejection at the bottom of page 3 of the                         
                 Answer is incorrect to the extent that it includes cancelled claim 24 among                        
                 the rejected claims.  Moreover, this listing of claims at this location in the                     
                 Answer does not include claim 22, which is clearly a rejected claim on the                         
                 basis of the reasoning at page 5 of the Answer.
