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


               In each of these locations of Bruggemann it appears that               
          there is no repetitive action of testing the segmented displays             
          of liquid crystal displays in a manner required at the end of               
          representative claim 1 on appeal.  It appears to us that the                
          intent of the very last portion of the final test phase is to               
          test each of the speedometer, odometer and rpm meter once only.             
          Column 6, lines 20 through 25.  There is no positive teaching and           





          certainly no suggestion that this portion of the testing action             
          within Bruggemann would be repeated in any manner let alone                 
          repeated in a manner corresponding to a particular self test as             
          required at the end of representative independent claim 1 on                
          appeal.                                                                     
               Furthermore, and significantly to us, this claim requires              
          that the testing represented by the sweeping action of the                  
          mechanical meter movement claimed is to represent the testing               
          result of other recited elements, namely, the recited electronic            
          circuit means.  Bruggemann’s teachings as to the noted feature              
          identified at 3 locations in Bruggemann and earlier by us in this           
          opinion only relate to testing the respective speedometer,                  

                                          7
