Appeal No. 1997-0281 Page 8
Application No. 08/351,874
Similarly, claim 11 specifies in pertinent part the following
limitations:
a breakover diode responsive to the voltage
differential ()V) between the input and output
terminals for switching the path between the two
terminals provided by the solid-state switch from a
high impedance value to a low impedance value,
thereby controllably discharging the energy from the
capacitive energy storage device to the igniter plug
by way of the output circuitry.
Also similarly, claim 12 specifies in pertinent part the
following limitations:
a breakover diode (BOD) responsive to the voltage
differential ()V) between the input and output
terminals for effecting the switching of the path
between the two terminals provided by the solid-
state switch from a high impedance value to a low
impedance value, thereby controllably discharging
the energy stored in the capacitive energy storage
device to the igniter plug by way of the output
circuitry, where the BOD includes an anode connected
to the input terminal and a cathode connected to a
trigger input of the solid-state switch.
Also similarly, claim 13 specifies in pertinent part the
following limitations:
a breakover diode responsive to a predetermined
value of a voltage differential ()V) between the two
terminals for effecting the switching of the path
between the two terminals provided by the solid-
state switch from a high impedance value to a low
impedance value, thereby controllably discharging
