Representative claim 1 is reproduced below:
1. A circuit comprising:
pulse forming means responsive to a data input signal for
providing a pulsed output to an output node, said pulsed output
being timed in accordance with said data input signal and having
high and low voltage levels responsive to respective high and low
reference voltages, said pulse forming means comprising means for
providing charging currents to and discharging currents from said
node; and
means responsive to said high and low reference voltages for
adjusting said charging and discharging currents of said pulse
forming means in accordance with the difference between said high
and low reference voltages.
The following references are relied on by the examiner:
Borrelli 4,070,565 Jan. 24, 1978
Chau et al. (Chau) Re 31,056 Oct. 12, 1982
Murray et al. (Murray) 4,724,378 Feb. 09, 1988
Ugenti 4,837,502 June 06, 1989
After a remand to the examiner from an earlier panel of this

102(b) as being clearly anticipated by either Chau, Borrelli,
Murray or Ugenti.
