Appeal No. 97-2993 Page 5
Application No. 08/363,133
The examiner’s further reasoning for substituting a
passive low-pass filter for Smith’s S/H circuit, at the bottom
of page 6 of the answer, i.e., elimination of noise within the
S/H circuit and the elimination of timing circuitry required
for the S/H circuit, appears to be based more on appellants’
own disclosure of the advantages of the instant invention than
on any suggestion by the applied references.
The Ichida reference, employed by the examiner with regard
to claim 5 to show a Bessel filter, does nothing to remedy the
deficiencies of the Smith and Sedra references.
The examiner’s rejection of claims 1 through 9 under 35
U.S.C. 103 is reversed.
