              KRASS, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                                          

                                                DECISION ON APPEAL                                                         

                     This is a decision on appeal from the final rejection of claims 1, 2, 14 and 22-24.                   
                     The invention is directed to a motor operation controller which can accommodate                       
              different power supply voltages.  An insulation structure is placed between the power                        
              supply and the motor to allow for bidirectional operation in a power mode and a                              
              regeneration mode.                                                                                           




                                                            1
