1617 (Fed. Cir. 1999). "Mere denials and conclusory statements,
however, are not sufficient to establish a genuine issue of
material fact." Dembiczak, 175 F.3d at 999, 50 USPQ2d at 1617,
citing McElmurry v. Arkansas Power & Light Co., 995 F.2d 1576,
1578, 27 USPQ2d 1129, 1131 (Fed. Cir. 1993).
The Examiner agrees that Mendis does not expressly teach an
analog-to-digital converter. See page 5 of the answer. The
examiner points out that Panicacci teaches an analog-to-digital
converter. The Examiner further points out that Nishiki also
teaches subtraction in the digital domain. See page 5 of the
answer. However, the Examiner has failed to find any evidence of
record that supports that one of ordinary skill in the art would
have reason to make the proposed modification to Mendis.
