Appeal No. 1997-1337
Application 08/467,000
determinations at columns 6 and 7 of Washeleski that any
variations in actual load current placed into the table or
template are or would be based upon an actual
sensed voltage being applied to the motor as required by
independent claims 16 and 19 on appeal. The reference simply
stops short of that teaching or suggesting to the artisan this
feature of both claims on appeal.
On the other hand, the examiner's reliance upon the
battery voltage determinations at the top of column 7 and at
column 6, lines 12-14 of Washeleski is misplaced. We
understand the teachings of this reference the same as argued
by appellant that battery voltage sensing occurs as an element
of determining or controlling speed variations of the motor
rather than as a basis of controlling or changing the template
or tabled value of threshold determinations of load current.
Finally, we are unpersuaded by the examiner's reasoning
that it would have been obvious for the artisan to have
improved upon Washeleski's teachings to make the load current
thresholds variable “based on an actual voltage being applied
