Application No. 08/541,948
resonance frequency associated with the coupling of the
pitching mode mechanical resonance frequency of the no-load
spindle motor and the primary mechanical resonance frequency
of a plurality of disks to be loaded; and selecting the
spindle motor and the disk to minimize the difference in the
first mechanical resonance frequency value and the second
mechanical resonance frequency value.” Therefore, we reverse
the rejection of claims 1, 3, 4, 8, and 9 as being obvious
over Morita in view of Boutaghou and of claims 2, 5-7, and 10
as being obvious over Morita in view of Boutaghou further in
view of Morehouse.
CONCLUSION
In summary, the rejection of claims 1-10 under § 103(a)
is reversed.
