Appeal No. 95-3876 Application 08/222,009 be substituted for the field-effect transistor 15 disclosed in Iwata's Figure 3: Appellants contend, however, that the proposed combination would not supply the following claimed element: control means for applying the enabling voltage to a gate of the insulated gate bipolar transistor and for removing the enabling voltage at the gate in response to a flash terminating command. We must, therefore, determine the scope and meaning of this limitation in the context of the claim as a whole. - 31 -Page: Previous 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
