          Appeal No. 2005-0364                                                        
          Application No. 10/072,676                                                  

          shown any removal of spectral impurities or noise components of             
          an input signal from an AC power line in Estes.                             
               Since the examiner has failed to show that the circuit                 
          structure of Estes has the capability of acting as a “power line            
          conditioner,” as claimed, we find that Estes does not anticipate            
          the instant claimed subject matter and we will not sustain the              
          rejection of claims 1 and 2 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b).                       
               The examiner’s decision is reversed.                                   
                                      REVERSED
