Appeal No. 1999-1941
Application No. 08/629,700
providing an improved signal to the control means 50 of the
prior art as shown by Lyons in Figures 1A and 1B. Thus, we
agree with Appellant that both MacMinn and Lyons each utilize
the output of a rotational position sensor to provide control
means for the srm. Therefore, we cannot sustain the obviousness
rejection of claim 1 and its independent claims 2 to 5.
With respect to the other two independent claims, 6 and 11,
we find that they too each contain the same limitation as claim
1.
