                       We AFFIRM.                                                                                  

                                                BACKGROUND                                                         

                       Appellants’ invention relates to a keyless access authorization control                     
                device and identification transmitter.  An understanding of the invention can                      
                be derived from a reading of exemplary claim 1, which is reproduced below.                         
                           1.   A keyless authorized access control system, the system                             
                       comprising:                                                                                 
                           at least two transceivers, each transceiver being assigned to                           
                       a respective object; and                                                                    
                           an identification device having a base module operable to                               
                       communicate commands to the transceivers assigned to the                                    
                       objects, the base module having at least two interfaces;                                    
                           the identification device further having at least two object                            
                       modules, each object module being assigned to a respective one                              
                       of the objects, each object module having a memory chip                                     
                       containing a code attuned to the assigned object;                                           
                           each object module being interchangeably connected to the                               
                       base module through a respective one of the interfaces such that                            
                       a first one of the object modules is interchangeably connected                              
                       to the base module through a first one of the interfaces while a                            
                       second one of the object modules is interchangeably connected                               
                       to the base module through a second one of the interfaces;                                  
                           each object module having a button operable for activating                              
                       the base module to communicate to the transceiver assigned to                               
                       the object that is assigned to the object module a command                                  
                       having the code attuned to the assigned object when the object
