Appeal No. 96-0338
Application 08/095,179
signal received by said frequency analysis means during said
first time period on the basis of noise in said input signal
during said second time period; and
cancel means for multiplying said predicted noise by
at least one coefficient and subtracting said multiplied
predicted noise from said frequency-analyzed signal during
said first time period.
The following reference is relied on by the examiner:
Kroschel, “Methods For Noise Reduction Applied To Speech Input
Systems”, 2 IEEE Proceedings on VLSI and Computer Peripherals,
82-87 (1989).
Claims 1, 2, 4, 5, 13, 14, 17 through 24 and 26 through
28 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103. As evidence of
obviousness, the examiner relies upon Kroschel alone. As
indicated at pages 2 and 7 of the answer, the examiner has
withdrawn a rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over another
reference. From our review of the file, we note the
following.
Claim 14 on appeal depends from canceled claim 3. Since claim
3 has been incorporated into the subject matter of independent
claim 1, it appears that claim 14 is intended to depend from
3
