Appeal No. 95-2102
Application No. 08/076,160
This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 20
through 25. In an Amendment After Final (paper number 8),
claims 20 and 23 were amended.2
The disclosed invention relates to control of the
channels on a television and to control of a rotary antenna
motor with the same signal transmitted from a wireless remote
control channel selector.
Claim 20 is illustrative of the claimed invention, and it
reads as follows:
20. A control unit for controlling a rotary motor driven
antenna for use with a T.V. in which the channels of the T.V.
are selected by signals transmitted by a wireless remote
control channel selector, said control unit having a
microprocessor, said microprocessor having a programmable
random access memory to store in associated relation
information representing the appropriate desired antenna
position for each desired T.V. channel to be selected by each
signal transmitted by the remote control channel selector and
information representing the transmitted signal for which the
desired antenna position has been stored, said control unit
having a receiver to detect the said transmitted channel
selector signals, said receiver being connected through said
microprocessor to access from said random access memory the
information for the appropriate desired antenna position for
the T.V. channel selected by the channel selector signal
detected, a power output circuit for connection to the antenna
motor for rotating the antenna, a read only memory connected
to said microprocessor and programmed to provide instruction
2The amendment failed to correct the dependency of claim
22 from canceled claim 2.
