          Appeal No. 96-2189                                                          
          Application 07/969,731                                                      



          confirm the entry of the function to be accessed and twelve                 
          LEDs 15 to indicate the reason for the trip operation.                      
          However, Yalla fails to teach a user interface panel                        
          presenting a visual protection curve representation of the                  
          adjustable predetermined function as well as indicator means                
          associated with the visual protection curve having a first                  
          state in response to a trip and a second state in response to               
          adjusting through an input means.  Yalla teaches in contrast                
          that the operator must view a screen 41 to scroll through a                 
          program menu to display the functions indicated by LED 71 and               
          their set points ranges, and to enter a set point indicated by              
          LED 72 which defines the operational limits of the tripping                 
          and reconnect functions.  Thus, LEDs 71 and 72 are not                      
          associated with a visual protection curve representation or an              
          indicator means for displaying a trip signal.                               
               Therefore, we fail to find that the Examiner has shown                 
          that the prior art suggested the desirability of the modifying              
          the Matsko user interface panel presenting a visual protection              
          curve representation 42, 47, 48a having LED indicators 140-143              
          merely having a first state to a user interface panel having                

                                         11
