9. A storage capacitor power supply adapted to store
electricity in a capacitor block consisting of a plurality of
capacitors connected in series, in parallel or in any
combination of series and parallel and to supply electric
power to a load, said power supply comprising a residual
electricity-detecting circuit which takes the voltage
developed across the power supply and, applies the voltage to
a series combination of a voltage regulator circuit and a

residual electric power.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims are:
Meinhold 4,303,877 Dec. 1, 1981
Barthel 4,364,396 Dec. 21, 1982
Metroka et al. 5,121,288 Jun. 9, 1992
Claim 9 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being
unpatentable over Metroka in view of Barthel.
Claims 12 and 13 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)
as being unpatentable over Metroka in view of Barthel and
Meinhold.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced
by the examiner and appellant regarding the above-noted
rejections, we make reference to the final rejection (paper
