Appeal No. 1997-1389
Application 08/642,811
an H-bridge circuit; and
active feedback circuity coupled to said H-bridge circuit
to detect a predetermined half H-bridge output voltage level,
and upon said detection enabling turn on of next phase of a
drive sequence.
The following references are relied on by the examiner:
Hattori 5,057,720 Oct. 15, 1991
Fukunaga 5,099,138 Mar. 24, 1992
Wilcox 5,408,150 Apr. 18, 1995
(filed Mar. 22, 1993)
Claims 1 through 5 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112,
second paragraph, because, in the examiner's view, the
language “next phase” and “drive sequence” at the end of claim
1 are not clearly defined and are thus vague and indefinite.
Claim 1 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being
anticipated by either Hattori or Fukunaga. Claim 1 also
stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as being anticipated
by Wilcox.
Rather the repeat the positions of the appellant and the
examiner, reference is made to the brief and the answer for
the respective details thereof.
