Appeal No. 1999-1134
Serial No. 08/334,465
On page 6 of the Appeal Brief (hereinafter "brief"),
Appellants assert that Schneider does not teach applying
perturbent structures to the turns of a dynamoelectric
machine, nor any teaching as to how perturbent structures
would be applied to turns of a dynamoelectric machine.
In addition, Appellants point out that Schneider provides6
very general statements of perturbent structures for inducing
turbulent flow in helical passages. Schneider discloses using
the perturbent structures in the spiral helical cooling
passages (74) around stator (75) of an electric machine to
cool the motor (10).
Appellants then argue that the application of the general7
teachings of Schneider to the specific environment of openings
in each turn of a dynamoelectric machine is derived only from
Appellants' teachings and not from the applied references. In
this regard Appellants point out that neither Laffoon nor
Kaminski indicates a need for further cooling, or cooling
