Appeal No. 1998-1083
Application 08/402,606
determine a second path and then determine a displacement
between the first and second paths.
Engelberger is a real time process that senses dynamic
feedback information from accelerometers 104 and 106 and
tachometers 82, 84, and 86 and selectively combines it with
the positional error signal to stabilize the positional
servo loop (col. 7, lines 19-33). Therefore, Engelberger
also does not determine a second path and then determine a
displacement between the first and second paths.
Because the applied references do not determine a
second path and then determine a displacement between the
first and second paths, we conclude that the Examiner has
failed to establish a prima facie case of obviousness with
respect to claim 5. The rejections of claim 5 over Ishiguro
and Furukawa and Ishiguro and Engelberger are reversed.
CONCLUSION
The rejections of claims 1-5 are reversed.
REVERSED
