Appeal No. 1998-0629
Application 08/234,525
respect to the limitations of "generating a standard
dimensional value determined from a frequency distribution of
a selected one of said character dimensional characteristics"
and "generating . . . a set of normalized values determined
from said standard dimensional value, said normalized values
corresponding to said one or more character dimensional
characteristics." The rejection of claims 1-15, 17-36, and
38-42 is reversed. The Examiner finds that claim 43 is
essentially equivalent to claim 17 with the addition of
various steps (EA8). It is clear that claim 43 includes
limitations corresponding to those on which the rejections of
claims 1, 16, 22, and 37 were reversed, in particular,
"generating normalized dimensional values . . . using said
global maximum dimensional value." Accordingly, the rejection
of claim 43 is reversed.
CONCLUSION
The rejections of claims 1-43 are reversed.
REVERSED
