4 DISCUSSION
5 We will not sustain the rejection of claims 12 and 14 under 35 U.S.C.
6 § 102 as anticipated by Harding or in the alternative under 35 U.S.C. § 103
7 as being unpatentable over Harding. Harding does not disclose nor does
8 Harding suggest an input or logic device which enables an operator to select
9 a void-fill density from a plurality of void-fill densities as required by claims
10 12 and 14.
11 We will also not sustain the rejection of claims 13 and 15 under 35
12 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Harding in view of Hale or
13 Reynolds because claims 13 and 15 depend from claims 12 and 14 and thus
14 require the input device which enables an operator to select a void-fill
15 density from a plurality of void-fill densities and neither Hale nor Reynolds
16 remedies the deficiency of Harding.
