Appeal No. 1997-0321
Application 08/052,494
Representative claim 10 is reproduced as follows:
10. A display driver circuit having an output for
driving a flat panel display, comprising means for detecting
integrity of bonding of said output to said flat panel
display, said bond integrity detecting means in turn
comprising;
means for driving said output to a first voltage level;
means for applying a test mode current current to said
output to change voltage on said output to a second voltage
level;
means for defining a sampling time following initiation
of application of said test mode current to said output; and
means for indicating whether voltage on said output has
reached said second voltage level at said sampling time.
Claims 10 to 15 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112,2
first paragraph .3
Rather than repeat the positions and the arguments of
2Claim 11 is indicated to depend on claim 1, however,
claim 1 has been canceled. We think that claim 11 is supposed
to depend on claim 10. Appellants and the Examiner may want
to review this dependancy. Our opinion is unaffected by that
as there is no specific discussion of individual claims in
either the brief or the answer.
3The Examiner has withdrawn [answer, page 6] the
rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 102.
