          Appeal No. 96-3895                                                          
          Application 08/288,103                                                      

          first coming up with values representative of normal systematic             
          activity and then subtracting them from the combined filtered               
          measurements.  Capps, on the other hand, does not make up for the           
          deficiencies discussed above with respect to Marko.  Capps is               
          relied on by the examiner only for satisfying the more specific             
          features relating to sensing engine vibrations.                             
               For the foregoing reasons, we do not sustain the rejection             
          of claims 1-6, 11-15, and 17-30.                                            


                                     Conclusion                                       
               The rejection of claims 1-6, 11, 14, 15, and 17-29 under               
          35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Marko is reversed.               
               The rejection of claims 12, 13 and 30 under 35 U.S.C. § 103            
          as being unpatentable over Marko and Capps is reversed.                     
                                      REVERSED
