Appeal No. 2004-0388
Application No. 09/749,620
Claim 11: Tacker’s disclosure that switch 119 is a press
switch (col. 5, line 63) indicates that it is a button.
Claim 12: Tacker’s press switch 119 necessarily must be
pressed for a sufficient duration to make electrical contact and
thereby initiate the query.
Claim 13: Tacker’s audible indicator indicates results of
the query (col. 6, lines 58-64).
Claim 14: Tacker’s system may also include an LED display
for indicating the results of the query (col. 8, lines 6-8).
Claims 16 and 20: Tacker’s disclosure that the query can be
initiated while the capacitor is charging (col. 6, lines 58-61)
indicates that the user-activated trigger can initiate a query
while the defibrillator is turned off.
Claim 18: Tacker’s switch 119 is remote from the
defibrillator (figure 1).
Claim 22: The audible indicator is capable of periodically
indicating a functional status of the defibrillator, for example,
when the capacitor is fully charged and at the beginning of each
stage of an intervention sequence (col. 6, lines 46-58).
