Yamashita, even if the Examiner’s supposition as to the
equalization of impedances for maximum damping is accepted as
fact, to do so in Yamamura would be in direct contrast to the
explicit teachings of the reference. As pointed out by
Appellants (Brief, page 19; Reply Brief, page 14), Yamamura
directs the reader (column 7, lines 7-17) away from equalizing
load resistance and characteristic impedance by teaching that the
selected value of resistance 35 should be “ . . . sufficiently
lower than an impedance at a resonance peak when the resistor
35 is not connected.”
