Appeal No. 2001-2416 Application No. 08/843,978 for a teaching of a resistive element provided between the deflection coils for providing an indication of deflection current to determine displacement. The examiner then takes these teachings and alleges that since Kii uses stored correction waveforms of reference lines in the determination of a correction value of a line therebetween, and since Tanaka teaches that fewer reference values are needed when specific reference points of known correction values are used in the calculation of the correction value for the designated point, it would have been obvious to employ Tanaka’s interpolation method with Kii’s invention for a more efficient method of interpolation [see final rejection-page 4]. Moreover, the examiner considers it obvious to have realized the claimed means for generating position information related to the deflection current with the system of Kii and Tanaka “so the exact displacement on a screen is known in determining where scan raster is in relation to the reference points and the designated point” [final rejection- page 5]. Further, the examiner alleges that it would have been obvious “to recognize the claimed means for measuring a first moment in time at which the position information has a first value and the claimed means for measuring a second moment in time at which the position information has a second value with the system of Kii, Tanaka, and 6Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
