pulse code modulation decoder to the high value of said
predetermined pulse code modulation value range;
a combiner connected to the outputs of said first,
second, and third comparators for producing a single pulse
train output having a pulse rate indicative of the frequency
of aberrant data reception; and
filtering means connected to the output of said combiner
for producing an integrated filtered pulse train output
signal.
The following references are relied on by the examiner:
Fortuna et al. (Fortuna) 3,810,020 May 7,
1974
Jackson 4,968,902 Nov. 6, 1990
Claims 22 through 26 and 28 stand rejected under 35
U.S.C.
§ 103. As evidence of obviousness, the examiner relies upon
Fortuna in view of Jackson.
Rather than repeat the positions of the appellant and the
examiner, reference is made to the brief and the answer for
respective details thereof.
OPINION
We reverse since the examiner has not set forth a prima
facie case of obviousness within 35 U.S.C. § 103.
