          Appeal No. 94-2054                                                           
          Application 07/827,680                                                       

                    This is an appeal from the final rejection of Claims               
          2-7, which constitute all the claims remaining in the                        
          application.                                                                 




                    Claim 4 reads as follows:                                          
                    4.  Wheel slippage control system comprising                       
                    wheel speed sensor means for producing a wheel speed               
          signal during preset computing cycles, each computing cycle                  
          being divided into subcycles of uniform duration, said wheel                 
          speed signal having null times,                                              
                    means assigning a time base value to each null time,               
                    a first register in which the last three time base                 
          values including a third last, second last, and last time base               
          value are stored,                                                            
                    means for determining a wheel speed value from the                 
          third last time base value and the last time base value at the               
          beginning of each subcycle,                                                  
                    a second register in which the wheel speed value is                
          stored,                                                                      
                    means for producing brake pressure control signals                 
          during a computing cycle using the last wheel speed value                    
          stored in the previous computing cycle, and                                  
                    means for controlling brake pressure using said                    
          brake pressure control signals.                                              
                    The Examiner’s Answer cites no prior art.
