                  Application 10/703,917                                                                                      
                  heating cylinder temperature and a cycle time, but has not successfully                                     
                  related these variables to the sum of products for estimating a resin                                       
                  temperature that claim 1 requires.                                                                          
                         Searle and Nissei address closely related problems in the same                                       
                  equipment.  Unsurprisingly they employ similar variables.  Their goals and                                  
                  methods differ, however.

                         Searle does not anticipate all of the limitations of claim 1.  The                                   
                  missing elements are also present in independent claim 2 and in claims 3-6,                                 
                  which all depend from either claim 1 or claim 2.  Consequently, the rejection                               
                  must be—
