                Appeal No. 2006-2850                                                                          
                Application No. 10/812,027                                                                    

                broad and encompasses installing the CPU and inertial sensor as two                           
                separate modules or one.  As discussed supra, we find that Kodama teaches                     
                that navigation system can be moved from one vehicle to another, thus,                        
                suggesting that the system is removably secured to a vehicle.  As discussed                   
                supra, Kodama teaches that the inertial sensor is removably mounted.  Thus,                   
                we find ample evidence to support the Examiner’s rejection of claim 23.                       
                Appellant presents no arguments as to why claim 40 is separately                              
                patentable from claim 23, accordingly we group claim 40 with claim 23                         
                and similarly sustain the Examiner’s rejection of claim 40.  See 37 C.F.R.                    
                § 41.67(c)(1)(vii).                                                                           
                      Rejection of claim 24 through 28, 39, 41 through 44.                                    
                      On page 17 of the Brief, Appellant argues that the combination of                       
                Kamiya, Kodama, Ito and Avitan do not make obvious the subject matter of                      
                claims 24 through 28, 39 and 41 through 44.   Appellant argues that claims                    
                24 through 29 depend upon claim 23 and are allowable for the reasons                          
                discussed with respect to claim 23.  Appellant states “[w]ith specific                        
                reference to claims 26, 27, 39 and 41-42 the Examiner is referred to the                      
                above discussion regarding claim 22.”  Further, Appellant asserts that claims                 
                43 and 44 ultimately depend upon claim 40 and are allowable for the reasons                   
                discussed with respect to claim 40.
