                 Appeal 2006-2624                                                                                   
                 Application 10/223,246                                                                             




                       It is noted that the argued features associated with dependent claim 22                      
                 at page 10 of the brief relate to features of this claim corresponding to the                      
                 features of independent claim 19.  As such, we must reverse the rejection of                       
                 claim 22 for the same reasons.  We have already made reference to our                              
                 consideration of the features of dependent claim 21.  As to the argued                             
                 feature of dependent claim 23 relating to the indicator being physically                           
                 connected to a transmitted power detector, the assertion at the bottom of                          
                 page 10 of the Brief is misplaced to the extent that it is noted that Durkota’s                    
                 display 189 is connected to a micro processor.  As noted earlier, this is not                      
                 the rationale of the Examiner since the watt meter 112 is directly connected                       
                 to a sensor 110 which in turn is directly connected to the antenna 102 itself.                     
                       In view of the foregoing, we have affirmed the rejection of claims 1                         
                 through 6, 10 through 15, 20, 21, 23 and 25 but have reversed the rejection                        
                 of dependent claims 7 through 9, 16 through 18 and 22 as well as the                               
                 rejection of independent claim 19.  Therefore, the decision of the Examiner                        
                 is affirmed-in-part.                                                                               











                                                         7
