          Appeal No. 95-4918                                                          
          Application No. 08/114,293                                                  
          and                                                                         




          the respective viewpoints of appellants and the examiner.  As               
          a                                                                           
          consequence of our review, we make the determination which                  
          follows.                                                                    
               We reverse the rejection of appellants’ claims under                   
          35 U.S.C. § 103.                                                            
               Claim 13 is drawn to a device for damping the motion                   
          sequences of two masses, comprising, inter alia, a signal                   
          processing circuit including means for filtering at least                   
          sensor output signals representing relative motion between the              
          two masses, dependent on frequencies of at least respective                 
          ones of sensor output signals representing relative motion.                 
               Akin to appellants’ invention, each of the relevant                    
          patents                                                                     
          relied upon by the examiner addresses a circuit including                   


          not only the specific teachings, but also the inferences which              
          one skilled in the art would reasonably have been expected to               
          draw from the disclosure.  See In re Preda, 401 F.2d 825, 826,              
          159 USPQ 342, 344 (CCPA 1968).
