a charging speed. In Figure 7 of Hauenstein comparator 14 of
controller S is a first detector which detects charge voltage at
terminal 2 (see Figure 1), and comparator 13 in Figure 7 is a
second detector which detects voltage supplied from transformer
Tr at terminal 1. Accordingly, we will not sustain the rejection
of claims 12-14 and 24.
After consideration of the arguments presented by the
examiner and the appellants, we have concluded that the rejection
of claim 26 should not be sustained. Hauenstein does not
disclose relatively slow and relatively fast charging speeds of
capacitor CL.
Summary
The rejection of claims 1-4, 6, 8-10, 12-14, 23 and 24 under
35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as anticipated by Hauenstein is sustained.
The rejection of claim 26 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as
anticipated by Hauenstein is reversed.
