          Appeal No. 96-3603                                         Page 6           
          Application No. 08/243,839                                                  
               Fundamentally, we disagree with Appellant's construction               
          of his claim.  Appellant urges that                                         
               the use of a diode that conducts in a given                            
               direction neither teaches nor suggests the use of a                    
               fuse that will conduct in neither direction upon the                   
               occurrence of an overcurrent condition but that will                   
               conduct in either direction prior to such an event.                    
          (Paper No. 19 at 2.)  Assuming, arguendo, the truth of that                 
          statement, it does not represent the entire scope of the                    
          subject matter that Appellant has claimed.                                  
                                      DECISION
