compensating dynamic balancer. See Appellants' specification,
page 1, lines 3-13.
Appellants disclose that prior art does not take into
consideration the dampening of internal vibrations generated by
the rotation of the spindle motor due to an eccentric center of
gravity of the disk. See Appellants' specification, page 2,
lines 24-28. Appellants disclose that such an eccentric center
of gravity of the disk is caused by a discrepancy between the
rotational center of the disk and the center of gravity of the
disk due to errors in the manufacturing process of the disk. See
Appellants' specification, page 2, lines 27-28. Appellants
disclose that this causes the rotational shaft of the spindle
motor to exhibit an orbital revolution, which has serious effects
in the case of a high-speed disc player. See Appellants'
specification, page 3, lines 3-7.
Independent claim 1 and dependent claim 24 present in the
application are reproduced as follows:
1. A disk player comprising:
a deck base;
a deck plate elastically coupled to said deck base;
