Appeal No. 96-0548
Application 08/161,691
desirability of the modification, no prima facie case has been
stated.
Upon our own review of the references, we agree with
Appellant that DeCola and Ibsen have little bearing on the
claimed subject matter.
Second, DeCola and Ibsen do not show that an audio signal
can be varied inversely to a battery voltage. Neither
reference varies an audio signal depending on a battery
voltage. Neither reference varies a signal inversely
depending on a battery voltage.
We find no suggestion in DeCola or Ibsen for varying the
audio signal of Maas or Fletcher inversely to a battery
voltage. Therefore, the rejections relying on those
references will not be sustained.
