Appeal No. 1997-2380
Application No. 08/121,809
information is a bad or good frame of information is not (as
contended by the Examiner) the same as switching between modes
of operation (as in Fletcher)” based upon a single threshold
value. As indicated supra, the examiner has acknowledged that
Gould does not disclose the use of two thresholds in the
determination of bad frames.
In summary, the obviousness rejection of claims 1 through
14 is reversed because neither Gould nor Fletcher teaches or
would have suggested to one of ordinary skill in the art the
claimed switching between two bit correction thresholds based
upon the erasure of at least one bad frame of information.
DECISION
The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1 through
14 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
