Appeal No. 95-5020
Application 08/151,041
We note that independent claim 36 recites "a waveform
generator means for generating a time varying exciting
waveform ... and for generating a trigger pulse for initiating
a partial discharge in said insulating medium; and coupling
means for applying the exciting waveform and the trigger pulse
to a sample of said insulating medium so that partial
discharge activity is initiated in the medium substantially
simultaneously with the occurrence of the trigger pulse." We
note that claim 52, the only other independent claim, recites
a waveform generator and coupling means having at least the
above limitations.
On page 3 of the brief, Appellant corresponds the
waveform generator means recited in claim 36 to the variac 10
and step-up transformer 12 shown in Figure 2 for generating a
time varying
exciting waveform, the sine wave 22 shown in Figure 3.
Appellant further corresponds the waveform generator recited
in claim 36 to the trigger pulse generating circuit 16 shown
in Figure 2 for
generating a trigger pulse, pulse 22 shown in Figure 3, for
