                Appeal 2007-2458                                                                              
                Application 10/006,577                                                                        

                main power source is turned OFF.”  (Specification 11:11-25; Fig. 2;                           
                elements 5, 7, & 8).                                                                          
                      4. In the receiver cellular phone, the synchronization establishing                     
                section and the power-ON information detecting section always remain in                       
                the power-ON state even if the main power source is set to be in a power-                     
                OFF state.  (Specification 13:2-6).                                                           
                      5. Fukuda is directed to methods for controlling a digital cordless                     
                telephone system having a plurality of master stations and a plurality of                     
                remote stations.  (Col. 5, ll. 11-30; Fig. 4, elements 1-8).                                  
                      6. The main master station in Fukuda successively transmits a control                   
                signal, where the remote stations are set in the reception standby mode.                      
                (Col. 7, ll. 55-61; col. 8, ll. 8-23; Figs. 9A-9D).                                           
                      7. Fukuda discloses that the control signal is transmitted to the remote                
                stations in accordance with a predetermined format.  That format is set when                  
                each remote station is set into a reception standby mode through the master                   
                station.  Each remote station detects the timing at which they receive the                    
                control signal and thus modifies the times in which they are in the reception                 
                standby mode.  In other words, the periodicity of when the remote stations                    
                are in reception standby mode is set by the control signal.  (Col. 1, l. 65 –                 
                col. 2, l. 18; col. 8, ll. 24-39).                                                            
                      8. Appellant has not argued that combination of Fukuda or Gillig is                     
                improper and has stated only that Gillig fails to cure the perceived                          
                deficiencies of Fukuda.                                                                       




                                                      4
