          Appeal No. 97-0289                                                          
          Application No. 08/111,332                                                  


          which might be peculiar to a particular art should . . . be                 
          supported and the appellant similarly given the opportunity to              
          make a challenge.”  In re Pardo, 684 F.2d 912, 917, 214 USPQ                
          673, 677 (CCPA 1982).  The 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of claims              
          1 through 3 and 6 is reversed because appellants correctly                  
          argue (Brief, page 6) that the applied references do not teach              
          a power supply with a rectifier/filter and a regulator.                     
               The 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of claim 5 is reversed                   
          because the examiner never addressed the ground fault current               
          range recited therein.                                                      
                                      DECISION                                        
               The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1 through 3              
          and 5 through 8 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed as to claims              
          7 and 8, and is reversed as to claims 1 through 3, 5 and 6.                 
          Accordingly, the decision of the examiner is affirmed-in-part.              











                                          6
