Appeal No. 1996-2480 Application 08/163,825 terms set forth on pages 3 through 5 of Appellants' specification. We note that all of Appellants' claims recite the limitation of a perceptron node. We also note that the Examiner has failed to address this limitation as it is defined in Appellants' specification. Upon our review of Weingard and Lu, we fail to find that either of these references teaches this limitation. Therefore, we will not sustain the Examiner's rejection of claims 1 through 16, 19 through 32 and 34 through 53 as being unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Weingard in view of Lu. We have not sustained the rejection of the claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103. Accordingly, the Examiner's decision is reversed. 9Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
