from the through hole, width of the beam at any particular
distance from the through hole would indicate nothing about the
edges of the through hole.
Moreover, even if the edges of the through hole might be
able to be derived from measurements made by Tsai, this is no
indication as to why it would have been obvious to do so. It is
also no indication as to why it would have been obvious to then
apply the through hole edge detection, even if such detection
could be derived from Tsai, in such a manner as to cause the
positioning of a read/write head as desired for servo track
writing.
Accordingly, since the examiner has not convincingly shown
how Tsai is considered to detect the edges of the through hole of
the positioning arm and to employ such detection in positioning a
read/write head in a disk drive assembly, we will not sustain the
rejection of claims 1-6, 9 and 10 under 35 U.S.C. 103.
