Appeal 2007-0817
Application 10/992,253
discrete locations on the track or route, we hold that the first and second
propellers 16 and 18 of Betsinger are not on first and second independent
paths but are on a single path, that of arc 86. We further find that Betsinger
makes a distinction between the single arc 86 and the prior art references to
Arneson which disclose propellers moving along independent arcs defined
one for each prop. See Betsinger, col. 1, ll. 42-44. This is further evidence
that the art recognizes a distinction between completely independent
movement of propellers and movement of two propellers along a single arc.
Giving the claim language the above determined construction, it is our
further finding that Betsinger does not anticipate the independent claims on
appeal, inasmuch as Betsinger does not show first and second paths that are
independent of each other.
CONCLUSION and ORDER
The rejection of claims 1, 8, 14-18, 21, 22, 28-31 and 35 is reversed.
