Application No. 09/179,793
medium insertion control, a medium ejection control, and a read/write medium
conveyance control, by corresponding program controls of the MPU 52." Col. 12, l. 66 -
col. 13, l. 3. Under such control of the MPU, "a tray opening/closing control for each
of the medium insertion, medium ejection, and medium read/write conveyances are
executed." Col. 13, ll. 4-6 (emphases added).
The reference's use of the same MPU to close and open its tray negates
anticipation. Therefore, we reverse the anticipation rejection of claim 36.
CONCLUSION
In summary, the rejection of claim 36 under § 102(e) is reversed.
