is steered "away from" current mirror 61, as claimed, or that
current I0 is steered "away from" current mirror 67. The
rejection of claim 12 is reversed.
Claim 13
Appellants argue that Mizuide does not show "selectively
activating a second power source in conjunction with a first
power source during part of a recurring time interval" as recited
in claim 13 (Br12).
The examiner responds that second power source 61 is
selectively activated with first power source 55, which is always
on, during a part of a recurring interval, referring to column 7,
lines 34-36 and 41-43 (EA15).
While we agree with the examiner's finding that current
mirror 61 being activated in conjunction with current mirror 55
meets the limitation of "selectively activating a second power
source in conjunction with a first power source," we do not find
"a recurring time interval" disclosed in Mizuide. We interpret
"a recurring time interval" to require a time interval that is
repeated, which is not shown in Mizuide, and the examiner has not
offered any interpretation that would be met by Mizuide. The
rejection of claim 13 is reversed.
