across the inductor when the transformer discharges. Moreover,
in view of the inherent nature of the duty cycle generated by
switching driver 60 for at the gate of switching transformer Q1
(col. 4, lines 25-34) of Bang, we find that the primary and
secondary circuit loops conduct at different times.
From all of the above, we find that Bang anticipates claim
26. Accordingly, the rejection of claim 26 under 35 U.S.C. § 102
(b) is affirmed. As claims 27-31 fall with claim 26 (brief, page
