          Appeal No. 1999-1543                                                        
          Application No. 08/456,762                                                  

               Further understanding of the invention can be achieved by              
          the following claim.                                                        
               1.  Motion controlling apparatus comprising,                           
               a combining network having an acceleration input for                   
          receiving an acceleration signal representative of acceleration             
          of a movable element and a position input for receiving a                   
          position signal representative of position of said movable                  
          element and an output for providing an inferred position signal             
          representative of an inferred position of said movable element,             
               said network including a first signal processor for                    
          processing said acceleration signal to provide a modified                   
          acceleration signal,                                                        
               a second signal processor for processing said position                 
          signal to provide a modified position signal,                               
               a combiner for additively combining said modified                      
          acceleration signal with said modified position signal to provide           
          said inferred position signal.                                              
               The Examiner relies on the following references:
