flanks on a toothed wheel. We agree. As stated above we find
that Hernandez cannot be combined with Hahn and Loehrke in the
manner set forth in the Examiner’s rejection. We find that
Hahn teaches use of non-contacting displacement sensors to
measure grinding force. See column 14, lines 3 through 9.
However, we find that neither Hahn nor Loehrke teaches or
suggests that the force sensors on the work piece comprise two
high resolution inductive path pick ups as is claimed in
claim 24. Therefore, we will not sustain the rejection of
claim 24 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
For the foregoing reasons we affirm the Examiner’s
rejection of claims 20, 21, 26, 28 and 29 under 35 U.S.C. §
103. We reverse the Examiner’s rejection of claims 16 through
19, 22, 24, 25 and 27 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
