continuously active condition based on detection of the start
bit.
Because the combination of the APA and Suman does not

remote control signal from the remote control unit by

detects the idling information of the received remote control
signal," the Examiner has failed to establish a prima facie
case of obviousness. The rejection of claims 6 and 8-10 is
reversed.
