Allowable Subject Matter
Claims 11 objected to as being dependent upon a rejected base claim, but would be allowable if rewritten in independent form including all of the limitations of the base claim and any intervening claims.
With respect to Claim 11-13, the allowability resides in the overall structure of the device as recited in dependent Claim 11 and at least in part because Claim 11 recites
“wherein the upper frame body includes an upper surface and upper walls extending around a perimeter of the upper surface, wherein the upper walls, the upper surface, the bottom walls, and the bottom surface define the chamber within which the bus bar assembly is arranged, and wherein the at least one first jet orifice and the first vapor outlet extend through the upper surface”.
The aforementioned limitations in combination with all remaining limitations of Claim 11 are believed to render said Claim 11 and all claims dependent therefrom (Claims 12-13) patentable over the art of record.
While Moreno teaches many of the limitations of Claim 11 as the above rejection of Claim 10, neither Moreno nor any other art of record – either alone or in combination – teach or suggest the above-mentioned limitations of Claim 11.
With respect to Claim 17, the allowability resides in the overall structure of the device as recited in dependent Claim 17 and at least in part because Claim 17 recites
“wherein the frame assembly further includes a third frame body, and wherein the first frame body and the third frame body are arranged on opposing sides of the second frame body so as to enclose the large opening and define a chamber therewithin”.
The aforementioned limitations in combination with all remaining limitations of Claim 17 are believed to render said Claim 17 and all claims dependent therefrom patentable over the art of record.
While Moreno teaches many of the limitations of Claim 17 as the above rejection of Claim 16, neither Moreno nor any other art of record – either alone or in combination – teach or suggest the above-mentioned limitations of Claim 17.
With respect to Claim 19, the allowability resides in the overall structure of the device as recited in dependent Claim 19 and at least in part because Claim 19 recites
“wherein at least a portion of the first bus bar extension extends through a first wall of the second frame body, and wherein at least a portion of the second bus bar extension extends through a second wall of the second frame body opposite the first wall”.
The aforementioned limitations in combination with all remaining limitations of Claim 19 are believed to render said Claim 19 and all claims dependent therefrom patentable over the art of record.
While Moreno teaches many of the limitations of Claim 19 as the above rejection of Claim 18, neither Moreno nor any other art of record – either alone or in combination – teach or suggest the above-mentioned limitations of Claim 19.
