          HAIRSTON, Administrative Patent Judge.                                      

                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 1                 
          through 17, 19 and 21 through 24.                                           
               The disclosed invention relates to a circuit for driving               
          current through the stator coils in motor.  The circuit                     
          includes a discharge current path that can be selected when                 
          the output to the stator coils is not connected to the current              
          drive.
