Appeal No. 1998-2148
Application 08/764,783
which is well within Appellants’ about 0.5 to 5.
Claim 4
Appellants contend that Postma makes no disclosure
concerning the spacing of the turns of the coil, but it
appears from the drawing that the coil turns 5 touch each
other. As noted supra, Postma’s coil is 12 mm in length and
has 12 turns. This allows 1.0 mm per turn. With a wire size
of 0.25 mm, we note that there is approximately 0.75 mm
between each turn. We therefore find that Postma’s coil turns
do not touch each other. Claim 62
Appellants contend that Postma makes no disclosure
concerning wire diameter. As noted supra, Postma discloses a
wire diameter of 0.25 mm.
Claim 7
2We note that “between about 5 and 12 “ turns is recited
here while the specification only recites “between 7 and 11"
turns (page 6, line 4). We also note that the wire diameter
of “0.5 and 3 mm” and the pitch of “1 and 10 mm” is redundant
and already recited in claim 1.
