Appeal No. 95-2439 Application No. 08/080,353 parameters (i.e., don’t seek to write any data) and outputs a control signal to adapt the input voltage compatible with the second predetermined operating voltage (i.e., below the upper limit voltage in Morimoto, the write and erase circuits are controlled so as to be inoperable). Further, when the supply voltage rises from the second predetermined operating voltage (i.e., from below the upper level voltage, rising to the upper level voltage in Morimoto) and the disk drive is configured in a fourth mode of operation (i.e., write and erase circuits operable, along with the read function, in Morimoto), the logic device selects the first set of seek parameters (i.e., write to the chosen location in Morimoto) and outputs a control signal to adapt the input voltage compatible with the first predetermined operating voltage (i.e., the voltage is at the upper level voltage in Morimoto). Appellants argue, at page 7 of the brief, that their invention affords “great flexibility” because of the “fixed and adaptive modes.” But, as explained by the examiner, such a combination of modes is attained by the combination of Osafune (fixed modes) and Morimoto (adaptive modes, as broadly claimed). 7Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
