Appeal No. 1997-3179 Application No. 08/244,286 distributed capacitances that exist in line transmission systems. The examiner further maintains that Kane teaches using the distributed capacitance to determine equivalent impedances and capacitances inherently within the lines in order to effectively filter undesired frequencies. It is not entirely clear from the record what the examiner gleaned from the disclosures of Kane and 6Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
