#### IN RE MERRITT.

Patents; Originality.

The combination of old elements in a structure to produce a result which is undoubtedly an improvement over the prior art, in that the device so produced is stronger, more durable, and of easier construction, does not amount to, invention. Mere aggregation, when the result is but a combination of the known functions of the various parts, is not invention. (Citing *Be Davenport,*23 App. D. C. 370.)

No. 665.

Patent Appeals.

Submitted November 11, 1910.

Decided December 5, 1910.

Hearing on an appeal from a decision of the Commissioner of Patents rejecting an application for a patent.

*Affirmed.*

The facts are stated in the opinion.

*Mr. Ernest Howard Hunter*for the appellants.

*Mr. Robert F. Whitehead*for the Commissioner of Patents.

Mr. Justice Van Orsdel

delivered the opinion of the Court:

This is an appeal [by James S. Merritt, Charles F. Black, and Stephen Morris] from the decisión of the Commissioner of Patents rejecting appellants’ application for a patent for an improvement in metal lockers. The three tribunals of the *123Patent Office were unanimous in the rejection of appellants’ claims. Their opinions are full and complete in the analysis of the prior art, showing that the subject-matter of appellants’ twenty-six claims is covered by prior patents, to which reference is made. It is conclusively disclosed that appellants’ entire structure is no more than the mere aggregation of parts, either found in the references cited or common in similar structures, each part performing a well-known function.

Though the combination of old elements in appellants’ structure is undoubtedly an improvement over the prior art, and probably has resulted in the production of a stronger and more durable locker, and one of easier construction than before existed, it is well settled that mere aggregation, when the result is but a combination of the known functions of the various parts, is not invention. *Hailes*v. *Van Wormer,*20 Wall. 353, 22 L. ed. 241; *James Spear Stove & Heating Co.*v. *Kelsey Heating Co.*85 C. C. A. 444, 158 Fed. 622; *Re Davenport,*23 App. D. C. 370.

In adopting the conclusion reached by the tribunals of the Patent Office, it is unnecessary to review appellants’ claims in the light of the prior art. It is sufficient to say that nothing is disclosed which would, in our opinion, warrant the issue of a patent.

The decision of the Commissioner of Patents is affirmed, and the clerk is directed to certify these proceedings as by law required. *Affirmed.*
NOTE: This disposition is nonprecedential.

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF MONTANA 

DA 23-0242 

SHIRLEY CHAMBERS YOST, 

Petitioner and Appellant, 

v. 

MARTIN GUHL, DPHHS, and 

TERRESSA McDANIEL, 

Respondents and Appellees. 

FLED 

MAY 0 9 2023 

Bowen Greenwood 

Clerk of Supreme Court 

State of Montana 

ORDER 

Appearing pro se, Shirley Chambers Yost petitions this Court for an out-of-time 

appeal. She sought judicial review of a Final Agency Decision issued March 23, 2022, 

which denied her Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP) benefits for 12 months. The 

Butte-Silver Bow County District Court dismissed her petition on November 18, 2022, 

after concluding that it was filed one week late. 

Petitioner apparently fried to file an appeal of the District Court's dismissal order to 

this Court on January 23, 2023. However, the appeal was returned by the Office of the 

Clerk of the Supreme Court because it had not been filed within 30 days of the District 

Court's order. Petitioner explains that she "read Rule #4" and believes she has 60 days, 

not 30 days to file an appeal. She states that because governmental employees are involved, 

"[t]he 60 day rule should have been applied." Petitioner requests some leniency because 

she filed her initial Notice of Appeal timely, but it was returned for untimeliness. 

Petitioner is correct that she had 60 days within which to file her appeal. The 

relevant rule, M. R. App. P. 4(5)(a)(i), provides: "In civil cases, . . . , the notice of appeal 

shall be filed with the clerk of the supreme court within 30 days from the date of entry of 

the judgment or order from which the appeal is taken. In all other cases in which the United 

States of America or the State of Montana, or any political subdivision thereof, or any 

05/09/2023

Case Number: DA 23-0242
officer or agency thereof is a party, the notice of appeal shall be filed within 60 days from 

the entry of the judgment or order from which appeal is taken." The Department of Public 

Health and Human Services of the State of Montana and its officers are parties. 

M. R. App. P. 4(6) allows this Court to grant an out-of-time appeal "[i]n the 

infrequent harsh case and under extraordinary circumstances amounting to a gross 

miscarriage of justice[1" Here, we conclude the initial Notice of Appeal was timely and 

was inadvertently returned. Petitioner has demonstrated extraordinary circumstances, 

amounting to a gross miscarriage of justice. Accordingly, 

IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for an Out-of-Time Appeal is GRANTED. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Shirley Chambers Yost shall prepare, file, and 

serve a Notice of Appeal on or before Thursday, June 8, 2023. 

The Clerk of the Supreme Court is directed to provide a copy of this Order to counsel 

of record and to Petitiwlong with a copy of this Court's Appellate Handbook. 

DATED this 1 day of May, 2023.

 Nellis AFB and RAAF team up to support Australia wildfire reliefPublished Jan. 21, 2020

                **NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. (AFNS) --**
                Australians have been battling devastating wildfires since September 2019. More than 13 million acres have burned across the country as firefighters and emergency responders continue to battle the blazes.
Members of the Royal Australian Air Force and Nellis Air Force Baseteamed up to load more than 50 bundles of fire suppressant and other critical firefighting equipment onto three RAAF C-17 Globemaster III aircraft for delivery to the Australian Emergency authorities and Rural Fire Service.
The Chief of the Royal Australian Air Force, Air Marshal Mel Hupfeld, was thankful for the support of the United States Air Force and United States stakeholders assisting with this movement of supplies.
“The Royal Australian Air Force deeply appreciates the offer of help from the United States Air Force,” Hupfeld said. “The Australian people are comforted to know that in times of need, we have great friends like the United States who are ready to lend a hand. This is yet another example of the strength of our long-term friendship between our countries.”
The 99th Logistics Readiness Squadron provided help throughout the entire process. Airmen from both Air Forces worked alongside each other to load aircraft quickly and efficiently so they could get back to Australia with the vital equipment.
“Our LRS experts are skilled at prepping and loading all kinds of cargo and equipment into various airframes for transport across the world,” said Lt. Col. Danielle Kirk, 99th Logistics Readiness Squadron commander. “We were happy to assist our partners with prepping and loading the locally-sourced fire suppressant to help with the fires in Australia.”AFWN

 Tyndall AFB’s Hololab debuts virtual gateway to Installation of the FuturePublished March 20, 2022

                **TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. (AFNS) --**
                The Digital Twin Hololab went live at **Tyndall Air Force Base** March 17 to showcase the base in a digital model as part of Installation of the Future efforts. The digital base will allow cutting-edge planning concepts and innovative technologies to be integrated and enable numerous capabilities for warfighters throughout the Air Force.
The Hololab is the primary interface with the Digital Twin of Tyndall AFB, said Lowell Usrey, **Air Force Civil Engineer Center** Natural Disaster Recovery Division branch chief.
The Digital Twin is a “near life-like, virtual representation of the physical world,” Usrey said. “This is the place where Airmen can interact with the model using virtual reality goggles or just a good old-fashioned computer screen.”
The Hololab demonstrates how these concepts and technologies have been incorporated to help create a more resilient, efficient and sustainable installation. The model itself is tied to the overall $4.9 billion rebuild schedule, enabling views of the installation at any given point in time.
“It’s more than a display,” Usrey said. “It is an open canvas that puts the virtual world into the hands of potential users to improve mission effectiveness and collect feedback to help improve the system.”
“We are making the Hololab accessible because we want to spread knowledge of how the Digital Twin will help us with our mission today, as well as spark conversations of how it can help us in the future,” said Col. Travis Leighton, NDR division chief.
Visitors will be able to explore what it’s like to operate the systems that are built into the virtual replica of the installation. For example, facilities operators can view the real-time condition of assets as they explore the model.
The Digital Twin is one of many new technologies being implemented to transform Tyndall AFB into the Department of the Air Force’s Installation of the Future.
