          Application No. 08/736,330                                                  


          value, and partial braking of the vehicle is implemented                    
          simultaneously therewith as recited in claim 1; or (2) when a               
          lateral acceleration is detected during an operation of the                 
          vehicle brakes in a partial braking mode, implementing a                    
          symmetrical reduction of brake pressure on both wheels of an                
          axle of the vehicle when the lateral acceleration signal                    
          exceeds a first lower threshold value as recited in claim 5.                
          We have reviewed the patent to Luckevich and fail to find any               
          disclosure meeting the above-noted limitations of claims 1 and              
          5 and the examiner has not provided any discussion as to how                
          Luckevich is readable on the above-noted limitations of claims              
          1 and 5.                                                                    


               Since all the limitations of claims 1 and 5 are not found              
          in Luckevich for the reasons set forth above, the decision of               
          the examiner to reject claims 1 and 5 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e)              
          is reversed.
