          Appeal No. 2001-1627                                                        
          Application No. 09/289,420                                Page 16           

          of a magnetic coupling transformer MCT are interposed in series             
          on the rectified output line between the positive terminal of a             
          bridge rectifying circuit D1 and that of smoothing condenser Ci             
          (col. 5, lines 29-32).  Yasumura further discloses that the                 
          polarity of the drive winding NB2 is opposite to that of drive              
          winding NB1 to produce a voltage of reverse polarity (col. 6,               
          lines 29-31).  It is further disclosed that MCT transfers the               
          alternating voltage of the switching frequency generated by the             
          switching output to the secondary windings Ni through the                   
          magnetic coupling.  In addition, since the secondary winding Ni             
          is interposed on the positive output line from the bridge                   
          rectifying circuit D1, the switching voltage transferred to the             
          secondary winding is superimposed to the rectified output voltage           
          on the rectifying path.  Owing to the superimposition of the                
          switching voltage, the high speed recovery type rectifying diode            
          D2 interposed on the rectifying path switches on and off the                
          rectified current at the switching frequency (col.6, line 62                
          through col. 7, line 6).  Moreover, Yasumura discloses (col. 7,             
          lines 57-65)                                                                
               The voltage V1 between the connection point of the                     
               high-speed recovery type rectifying diode D2 and                       
               secondary winding Ni and the primary ground, which is                  
               equivalent to the voltage across the secondary winding                 
               Ni of the magnetic coupling transformer MCT, takes on a                
               waveform that the alternating voltage of the switching
