          Appeal No. 95-3673                                                          
          Application 07/935,762                                                      


          representations indicated there to signify various status                   
          conditions of that which has been tested.                                   
               Bruggemann’s pertinent disclosure as it relates to the                 
          claimed invention relates to a sweeping-type action discussed               
          generally and initially at column 3, lines 7 through 33.  In a              
          manner that appears to be analogous to the methodology used to              



          test prior art analogue display pointer-type instruments                    
          discussed in our earlier referenced column 1 location of                    
          Bruggemann, this column 3 portion of Bruggemann’s summary of the            
          invention indicates a corresponding methodology to test the                 
          odometer and tachometer shown in Figure 1.  This forms a part of            
          the final-test phase of the various phases discussed in                     
          Bruggemann and is characterized as corresponding to a normal                
          operating mode.  It explicitly indicates at column 3, lines 15              
          through 18 that “the display indicia for the rpm display move up            
          in the manner of a bar graph and show odometer increments.”  The            
          corresponding detailed description of the disclosure of this                
          methodology is presented at column 5, lines 15 through 36 and               
          column 6, lines 9 through 25.                                               



                                          6
