12. Chern Fig. 8 shows a ring oscillator 10c for use in a
charge pump 14.
13. There are an odd number of inverter stages equal to 13.
14. The output of each inverter stage X is coupled to the
primary input A of the succeeding inverter stage.
15. The output of the last inverter stage 213 is coupled to
the primary input of the first inverter stage 201.
16. The secondary input of each stage B is coupled to the
output X of a 7" preceding inverter stage (seven being greater
than three).
17. The following claims were originally designated as

Chern: 1-20
Yamada: 1-8, 18, 24, 25 and 30-35
18. The following claims were originally designated as not

Chern principal brief
19. Chern alleges a date of conception that is prior to
Yamada's foreign priority date of December 9, 1991 (Paper 24 at
6).
20. Chern alleges that it was diligent from prior to
