48. As in the case of the embodiment described above in relation to
FIGS. 3B and 3C, the switches 228 are selectively activated by the signals S0-SN
which correspond to the stored offset correction coefficients (col. 16, lines 51-55).
B. Prosecution history of the original application
49. As noted earlier, the patent sought to be reissued was based on
application 08/712,891, filed September 12, 1996 ("original application").
50. As filed, the original application contained claims 1-44 and 46-57, but
no claim 45. Claims 46-58 were renumbered as original claims 45-57 (See
37 C.F.R. § 1.126). Claims 1-57 are reproduced in Appendix 2 of this opinion.
51. On March 7, 1997, the Examiner entered a Non-final Office action.
52. Claims 1, 5-7, 9-13, 21-23, 25-32, 38-44, and 46-57 were rejected on
various grounds.
53. Claims 2-4, 8, 14-20, 24, 33-37, and 45 were "objected to" as being
dependent on a rejected claim.
