Appeal No. 95-2910
Application 08/084,337
heads being mounted on a single head arm actuator, said method
comprising the steps of:
determining time remaining for said active head to
reach end of track at said present track;
determining a leadoff interval necessary to complete a
pre track-switch processing step and a head arm actuator
energizing step;
detecting when said leadoff interval is greater than
said time remaining to said end of track;
performing pre track-switch processing in response to
said detecting step; and
energizing said head arm actuator in response to said
detecting step to build energy in said head arm actuator
during said leadoff interval whereby said currently active
head completes data transfer at said present track prior to
movement of said active head off said present track.
The examiner relies on no references.
Claims 1, 3-12, 14-21 and 26-47 stand rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, as being inadequately
disclosed. Specifically, the rejection is based on the
position that the originally filed specification does not
support the invention now being claimed.
Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants or the
examiner, we make reference to the brief and the answer for
the respective details thereof.
