          Appeal No. 95-3876                                                           
          Application 08/222,009                                                       




















          Iwata explains (col. 3, line 37 to col. 4, line 56) that the                 
          conductive state of the flash lamp 14 is controlled by a                     
          trigger circuit 33 and by FET 15, which is controlled by a                   
          control voltage generation circuit 18.  That circuit includes                
          transistors 22 and 23 and resistors 24 and 25 which correspond               
          to transistors Q5 and Q4 and resistors R8 and R9 in                          
          appellants' flash fire control circuit 5 (Figs. 1 and 7).                    
          Transistors 22 and 23 are turned on when the output signal of                
          NAND gate 28 (waveform B of Fig. 4) in the operation control                 
          circuit 19 goes high.  Just as turning on appellants'
