Appeal No. 2005-1843 Page 4 Application No. 09/585,222 anticipates a claim must focus on what subject matter is encompassed by the claim and what subject matter is described by the reference. As set forth by the court in Kalman v. Kimberly-Clark Corp., 713 F.2d 760, 772, 218 USPQ 781, 789 (Fed. Cir. 1983), cert. denied, 465 U.S. 1026 (1984), it is only necessary for the claims to "'read on' something disclosed in the reference, i.e., all limitations of the claim are found in the reference, or 'fully met' by it." Independent claims 1 and 7 read as follows: 1. A barstock body fluid control valve comprising: a barstock body of preselected material having an inlet end and an outlet end, and a substantially uniform transverse cross-section defining the outer walls; a through machined main flow port located eccentrically on said inlet and said outlet ends; wherein said main flow port eccentric location increases the available barstock thickness at one outer wall location and decreases barstock thickness in the opposite wall. 7. A two port fluid control valve comprising: a barstock body having outerwalls extending between an inlet end and an outlet end defined by a substantially uniform transverse cross-section circumscribed about a central longitudinal axis; a machined through bore extending between the inlet end and the outlet end of the barstock body about an offset longitudinal throughbore axis parallel spaced from the central longitudinal axis, the through bore is eccentrically located with respect to the outer walls producing a thicker outerwall portion and a relatively thinner opposite wall portion of the barstock body; and wherein a stem port communicates perpendicularly with said throughbore machined through said thicker outer wall portion of the barstock body.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
