Appeal No. 1998-2729 Application 08/220,851 three cycles. Quite obviously, a silent period would be necessary in each cycle to distinguish one ring (i.e., cycle) from the next. Although the Examiner’s conclusions regarding sinusoidal waves may be accurate, sinusoidal waves are not pertinent to Appellants’ context. In fact, the Examiner’s sinusoidal and triangular wave examples are not mentioned nor are they relevant to Appellants’ disclosure. Accordingly, we find that the specification does support the claim language, and meets the written description requirement of 35 U.S.C. § 112. Consequently, we will not sustain the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, rejection. 7Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
