Appeal No. 2002-0484
Application No. 09/274,617
Juhasz discloses a monitoring and recording system for
vehicles in which the jurisdiction is manually set by the
operator and the fuel values for a respective jurisdiction are
recorded in a tape drive. The fuel values in the Juhasz system
come from a flow meter 10 placed in the fuel line. Here again,
the values do not come from the engine control computer that
actually determines the amount of fuel to be delivered to the
fuel system.
Consequently, neither reference relied upon by the examiner
in rejecting the independent claims on appeal discloses a means
or an engine control computer that sends fueling signals to an
engine fuel system and sends fuel values to be recorded.
Therefore, the combined teachings of these references do not
render the claimed subject matter prima facie obvious.
We have carefully reviewed the other applied references,
but find therein no teaching or suggestion for appellants'
claimed control system. Accordingly, the rejections of all
claims on appeal are reversed.
