Appeal No. 97-1884
Application 08/051,377
Accordingly, claims 1 through 3 and 20 remain before us on
appeal.
The disclosed invention relates to a laboratory stirring
shaft and solution monitoring comparator device.
Claim 1 is illustrative of the claimed invention, and it
reads as follows:
1. A laboratory stirring shaft and solution monitoring
comparator device comprising in combination: monitoring means
adapted for use in association with a downwardly-directed
revolvable linearly-extending stirring shaft having a distal
end at least one of (a) carrying and (b) adapted to carry at
least one stirring blade, said monitoring means being for
measuring physical attributes of the downwardly directed
revolving linearly-extending stirring shaft when the linearly-
extending stirring shaft has the distal end stably mounted and
positioned to be revolved within media such that the at least
one stirring blade is enabled to agitate the media within a
vessel stably positioned relative to the linearly-extending
stirring shaft in which physical attributes include at-least
one of (a) wobble during revolving thereof, (b) verticality,
(c) rate of revolutions, and (d) current magnitude of wobble-
induced vibrations; and a visual display means for visually
displaying data measured by said monitoring means of said
physical attributes.
The reference relied on by the examiner in the only
remaining rejection is:
