rotational speed of the coater. Therefore, the control in Lin
based on measurements of thickness as taught by Ushijima would
similarly alter the flow of fluid onto the receiving surface of
Lin. Therefore, we agree with the examiner that the combination
of Lin and Ushijima teaches altering the flow of fluid at a first
radius from said axis as claimed.
In summary, we have sustained the examiner’s rejections
with respect to claims 1-5, 13-16, 31 and 32, but we have not
sustained the rejection of claims 24-26 and 30. Therefore, the
decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1-5, 13-16, 24-26 and
30-32 is affirmed-in-part.
