Appeal No. 1997-0961
Application No. 08/254,654
appellants= brief. If the meaning of Aopto-coupler@ is not clear to the skilled artisan, it may
not be possible to determine the corresponding structure covered by the claimed means as
required under 35 U.S.C. ' 112, sixth paragraph. In such a case, a ' 112, second
paragraph rejection may be warranted. Furthermore, it appears that the power amplifier
performs more than just an amplifying function in that the error signal is required to somehow
adjust the magnitude of the current for energizing the solenoid.
