Accordingly, we find that Ueda meets the claim limitation
of calculating fuzzy control parameters of said dynamic
process characteristics for tuning said fuzzy logic
controller. In addition, as the fuzzy control parameters K ,

K , and K are outputted from system identification unit 12 to2 3
fuzzy inference unit 11 as tuning variables for controlling
the process, we find that Ueda meets the claim limitation of
tuning said fuzzy logic controller using fuzzy control
parameters for controlling the process. Accordingly, we find
that Ueda anticipates claim 1. With respect to claim 14, we
additionally find the system identification unit 12 of Ueda to
be a tuning module as the system identification unit 12
measures the dynamic process control characteristics and
calculates the fuzzy control parameters K , K , and K which1 2 3
tune the process. We therefore find that Ueda anticipates
claim 14.
Turning now to claims 9 and 10, the examiner’s position
(answer, page 4) is that “[a]s per claims 9 and 10 the
appellant’s scaling factors and specifically error scaling
