material, reacts to the dielectrophoresis force driven by the
electric field patterns. The examiner has not shown how any of
this is suggested by Bakhoum.
As argued by appellant, at page 2 of the reply brief,
“although dielectrophoresis has been known, no one has ever
constructed an assembly of parts such as the claimed detector
that effects detection of electric field patterns and spatial
gradients of a target inanimate entity via a dielectrophoresis
force reaction of a reference material within a reference
material chamber.” The examiner has offered nothing that
successfully rebuts this argument.
