Appeal No. 1997-1364
Application 08/343,276
have not been traversed by the examiner, as well as the actual
teachings and suggestions to the artisan in Truong, it appears
that Truong's chip biased generator would not function in the
manner set forth at the end of each of independent claims 5
and 14 on appeal in accordance with the quoted language above.
In view of the foregoing, we must therefore reverse the
rejection of independent claims 5 and 14 on appeal. The
additional teachings of Furuyama as to the rejection of claim
5 do not appear to us and the examiner does not assert that
Furuyama buttresses the teachings of Truong as to the above-
quoted limitation. As such, we must therefore reverse the
rejection of dependent claims 6 and 15 on appeal. Therefore,
the decision of the examiner rejecting claims 5, 6, 14 and 15
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
