Appeal No. 1997-3956 Application 08/583,960 for dividing said large-level region into a plurality of middle-level regions the second voltage-dividing elements and or comparison voltage generating means for dividing said middle-level regions into a plurality of small-level regions with third voltage dividing elements wherein said third voltage dividing elements include one of a capacitor string comprising a plurality of series-connected capacitors and a resistor string comprising a plurality of series-connected resistors, each resistor of the resistor string having a high resistance sufficient to avoid influencing the determined regions of the second voltage-dividing elements. We have not sustained the rejection of claim 6 under 35 U.S.C. § 103. Finally, the Examiner's decision is reversed. 37 CFR § 1.196B A new ground of rejection of claim 6 is entered under 35 CFR 1.196(b).
