          Appeal No. 2000-1939                                                        
          Application 08/791,281                                                      

          would have assumed that the capacitor discharge problem                     
          recognized and solved by Gregorian also exists in the admitted              
          prior art circuit.                                                          

               The rejection of the appealed claims based on the admitted             
          prior art in view of Gregorian is therefore reversed.
