                Appeal 2007-2644                                                                              
                Application 10/708,681                                                                        

                calculating section (15d) is based upon an object distance signal, and the                    
                output from the deceleration calculating section (15d) is an input to the                     
                brake control section (15e) that outputs the brake fluid pressure signal to the               
                brake drive section (1), the brake fluid pressure signal is proportional to the               
                object distance signal.                                                                       
                      We therefore are not convinced of reversible error in the Examiner’s                    
                rejection.
