          Appeal No. 1998-2612                                                        
          Application 08/478,289                                                      

          With respect to independent claim 17, we also do not                        
          sustain the examiner’s rejection of claim 17 for reasons                    
          discussed above with respect to claim 13.  We also agree with               
          appellant’s separate argument that the proposed modification of             
          the admitted prior art with the circuitry of Moog would still not           
          provide a fixed resistance between the common effect send and               
          receive terminals nor would elements 34 and 38 of Moog be                   
          electrically coupled in parallel with the common effect send and            
          receive terminals as recited in claim 17.                                   

















                                         -8-
