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.
