Appeal No. 95-2784
Application 08/193,634
is established only when a single prior art reference
discloses, expressly or under principles of inherency, each
and every element of a claimed invention." RCA Corp. v.
Applied Digital Data Sys., Inc., 730 F.2d 1440, 1444, 221 USPQ
385, 388 (Fed. Cir.), cert. dismissed, 468 U.S. 1228 (1984),
citing Kalman v. Kimberly-Clark Corp., 713 F.2d 760, 772 218
USPQ 781, 789 (Fed. Cir. 1983), cert. denied, 465 U.S. 1026
(1984).
On pages 4-6 of the brief, Appellant argues that
Hyatt fails to disclose the use of a single active processor
for controlling each of the functions recited in Appellant's
claim 1 and thereby does not anticipate Appellant's claims 1
through 3, 18 and 19. In particular, Appellant points out
that Hyatt teaches a data processor 12 that only performs a
portion of the overall control of the movement along each of
the three axes.
Appellant further points out that Hyatt teaches in Figure 3 an
additional processor which performs the function of receiving
feedback information and controlling the operation of one of
the motors.
