Appeal No. 1998-1231 Page 2
Application No. 08/729,835
signal is generated to prevent motor torque disturbances from
affecting the velocity of the driven member. An understanding
of the invention can be derived from a reading of exemplary
claim 1, which is reproduced as follows:
1. An apparatus for controlling velocity of a motor
component driven in a single direction by a motor, comprising:
a first sensor to detect the velocity of the driven
component in a single direction and generate a first signal
indicative thereof;
a second sensor to detect the velocity of the motor and
generate a second signal indicative thereof; and
a controller, responsive to the first signal and the
second signal, for generating a motor control signal to
prevent motor torque disturbances from affecting the velocity
of the driven component.
The prior art reference of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims is:

Claims 1-11 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first
paragraph, as containing subject matter which was not
described in the specification in such a way as to reasonably
convey to one skilled in the relevant art that the inventors,
at the time the application was filed, had possession of the
claimed invention.
