Appeal No. 95-2917
Application 08/082,895
Appellants argue on page 16 of the brief that none of the
references teach or suggest controlling a specific amount of
flux density at the magnetoresistive element during writing or
controlling the amount of flux from the write head to the
magnetoresistive element during reading. We note that
independent claim 1 recites "the flux density at said MRE
during writing being equal to or less than about 10,000 gauss,
whereby destabilization of the said MRE when writing with said
write head is prevented" and the other independent claim 16
recites "the flux communicated to the MRE via said write head
when reading with said read head, resulting in about 10
percent or less of the signal output of said MRE."
The Examiner responded on page 6 of the answer that the
Examiner's modifications would have inherently resulted in
flux densities at the MRE during writing of less than 6000
gauss and flux communicated to the MRE via the write head
during the reading of about 10 per cent of the signal output
of the MRE.
