Appeal No. 2000-0720
Application No. 08/648,849
-
based on digital data 1k output from the symbol detector 7
compared to data patterns output by the symbol detector in
response to the data signals previously received by the
decision feedback equalizer (the data patterns of the input
signal and the channel selection underlined above).
Whereas claims 2, 3 and 5-10 depend from claim 1 and are
not separately argued, we will sustain the rejection of these
dependent claims.
Whereas claims 13-17 depend from claim 11 and are not
separately argued, we will sustain the rejection of these
dependent claims.
We will not sustain the rejection of claim 24, and claim
25 which depends therefrom, because there is no disclosure in
Kim of a plurality of sets of coefficients or control means
for selecting a set of coefficients. Kim only teaches a set
of coefficients in memory 13 of Figure 4.
Summary
In summary:
a) the decision of the examiner to reject claim 19 under
35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as anticipated by Fisher is reversed.
