Notice of Pre-AIA or AIA Status
The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA .
Response to the applicant’s arguments
The previous rejection is withdrawn. Applicant’s amendments are entered. Applicant’s remarks are also entered into the record. A new search was made necessitated by the applicant’s amendments.
A new reference was found. A new rejection is made herein.
Applicant’s arguments are now moot in view of the new rejection of the claims.
RAISER is silent but MITSUTANI teaches “...wherein the processor acquires a decrease in the output of the high-voltage load based on a difference between the received total amount of power and the amount of the peak power, (see paragraph 82-88 where there are two sides or a master side and a slave side and a failure of one side due to an abnormality can be determined and then the one side shut down)
controls the output of the high-voltage load to be decreased based on the acquired decrease in the output, , (see paragraph 82-91 where there are two sides or a master side and a slave side and a failure of one side due to an abnormality can be determined and then the one side shut down and then the capacitor elements can be provided in operation or in a second embodiment that IGBT element can be conductive while IGBT2 is non conductive and the voltage of the battery BM can be provided while battery BS is disconnected from the system to ensure power remains)
acquires an increase in the output corresponding to the acquired decrease in the output, and (see paragraph 88-91 where second embodiment that IGBT element can be conductive while IGBT2 is non conductive and the voltage of the battery BM can be provided while battery BS is disconnected from the system to ensure power remains)
controls the output of the high-voltage load to be increased based on the acquired increase in the output. (see claims 1-6 paragraph 66-70 where the capacitors are increased in voltage VH to pre charge them to use these in addition with the one side to provide power when there is an abnormality and this can occur while using the other side to isolate the battery abnormality side and provide an increased high voltage load to limp home)
It would have been obvious for one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date with a reasonable expectation of success to combine the disclosure of RAISER with the teachings of MITSUTANI since MITSUTANI teaches that a vehicle can include in Fig. 4 a master side with a converter and buses and a slave side with a converter and buses. There can be a failure in a system. In this case, the device can then precharge capacitors and use these and isolate one of the master and the slave sides. See paragraph 7-8 and claims 1-6. Here a failure may occur and the vehicle may not have power due to a faulty voltage sensor or other component however travel performance of the vehicle so the vehicle can pass other vehicles can be provided while shutting down the abnormal devices.
Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103
In the event the determination of the status of the application as subject to AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103 (or as subject to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103) is incorrect, any correction of the statutory basis (i.e., changing from AIA to pre-AIA ) for the rejection will not be considered a new ground of rejection if the prior art relied upon, and the rationale supporting the rejection, would be the same under either status.
The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 103 which forms the basis for all obviousness rejections set forth in this Office action:
A patent for a claimed invention may not be obtained, notwithstanding that the claimed invention is not identically disclosed as set forth in section 102, if the differences between the claimed invention and the prior art are such that the claimed invention as a whole would have been obvious before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the claimed invention pertains. Patentability shall not be negated by the manner in which the invention was made.
The factual inquiries for establishing a background for determining obviousness under 35 U.S.C. 103 are summarized as follows:
1. Determining the scope and contents of the prior art.
2. Ascertaining the differences between the prior art and the claims at issue.
3. Resolving the level of ordinary skill in the pertinent art.
4. Considering objective evidence present in the application indicating obviousness or nonobviousness.
This application currently names joint inventors. In considering patentability of the claims the examiner presumes that the subject matter of the various claims was commonly owned as of the effective filing date of the claimed invention(s) absent any evidence to the contrary. Applicant is advised of the obligation under 37 CFR 1.56 to point out the inventor and effective filing dates of each claim that was not commonly owned as of the effective filing date of the later invention in order for the examiner to consider the applicability of 35 U.S.C. 102(b)(2)(C) for any potential 35 U.S.C. 102(a)(2) prior art against the later invention.
Claims 1 and 7 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. sec. 103 as being unpatentable as obvious in view of United States Patent No.: 7427450 B2 to Raiser that was filed in 2006 and in view of United States Patent Application Pub. No.: US 2021/0197690 A1 to Qiao that was filed in 2019 (hereinafter “QIao”) and in view of U.S. Patent Pub. No.: US20100244558A1 to Mitsutani et al. assigned to TOYOTA filed in 2007.
Raiser discloses “...1. A power control device comprising:
a communicator configured to communicate with a battery management system configured to manage a total amount of power output from a battery; and (see col. 4, lines 40-65 where the device has a power management and distribution system 26 that controls the ultracapacitor and the battery so the battery provides 2/3 of the total power output and an ultracapacitor provides the 1/3 total)

a processor configured to receive the total amount of power through the
communicator, (see controller 50 that can control the capacitor 30 and battery 14 to provide 2/3 from the battery and 1/3 from the capacitor and see col. 4, lines 15-25)
determine that peak power is generated based on the received total amount of power and an amount of the peak power, and control an output of a high-voltage load based on whether the peak power is generated”. (See claim 1-16 where the device has a fuel cell to provide power, and the battery and a capacitor and in claim 6, the fuel cell provides 70 kw and the battery provides 20 kw and the capacitor provides 10 kw)

The primary reference to Raiser is silent but QIAO teaches “...the received total amount of power which is greater than or equal to a preset amount of the peak power, and control an output of a high-voltage load based on whether the peak power is generated, wherein the high-voltage load is a load configured to receive a voltage higher than or equal to a preset voltage, (See FIG. 2 where the charge peak power is at a maximum condition and then the rated power to be discharged drops from a first level to a second smaller level)
wherein in response to determination that the peak power is generated, the processor controls the high-voltage load so that the output of the high-voltage load 1s decreased, (See FIG. 2 where the charge peak power is at a maximum condition and then the rated power to be discharged drops from a first level to a second smaller level)
and in response to determination that the generation of the peak power is released, controls the high- voltage load so that the output of the high-voltage load is increased. (See FIG. 2a and 2b where the charge peak power is at a maximum condition and then the rated power to be discharged drops from a first level to a second smaller level and then increases to a maximum higher level and see paragraph 99-104)”.
It would have been obvious for one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date to combine the teachings of QIAO with the disclosure of RAISER with a reasonable expectation of success since QIAO teaches that a battery can include an actual power of the battery and a rated power of the battery that can provide a peak power of the battery. The battery can be discharged by not the peak power of the battery but instead at a lower battery power that is a rated power. See claims 1-6. This can provide a peak power when going uphill and in other instances keep the power lower to prevent damaging the battery. See paragraph 1-10 of Qiao.
RAISER is silent but MITSUTANI teaches “...wherein the processor acquires a decrease in the output of the high-voltage load based on a difference between the received total amount of power and the amount of the peak power, (see paragraph 82-88 where there are two sides or a master side and a slave side and a failure of one side due to an abnormality can be determined and then the one side shut down)
controls the output of the high-voltage load to be decreased based on the acquired decrease in the output, , (see paragraph 82-91 where there are two sides or a master side and a slave side and a failure of one side due to an abnormality can be determined and then the one side shut down and then the capacitor elements can be provided in operation or in a second embodiment that IGBT element can be conductive while IGBT2 is non conductive and the voltage of the battery BM can be provided while battery BS is disconnected from the system to ensure power remains)
acquires an increase in the output corresponding to the acquired decrease in the output, and (see paragraph 88-91 where second embodiment that IGBT element can be conductive while IGBT2 is non conductive and the voltage of the battery BM can be provided while battery BS is disconnected from the system to ensure power remains)
controls the output of the high-voltage load to be increased based on the acquired increase in the output. (see claims 1-6 paragraph 66-70 where the capacitors are increased in voltage VH to pre charge them to use these in addition with the one side to provide power when there is an abnormality and this can occur while using the other side to isolate the battery abnormality side and provide an increased high voltage load to limp home)
It would have been obvious for one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date with a reasonable expectation of success to combine the disclosure of RAISER with the teachings of MITSUTANI since MITSUTANI teaches that a vehicle can include in Fig. 4 a master side with a converter and buses and a slave side with a converter and buses. There can be a failure in a system. In this case, the device can then precharge capacitors and use these and isolate one of the master and the slave sides. See paragraph 7-8 and claims 1-6. Here a failure may occur and the vehicle may not have power due to a faulty voltage sensor or other component however travel performance of the vehicle so the vehicle can pass other vehicles can be provided while shutting down the abnormal devices.
Claim 2 is cancelled.

This application currently names joint inventors. In considering patentability of the claims the examiner presumes that the subject matter of the various claims was commonly owned as of the effective filing date of the claimed invention(s) absent any evidence to the contrary. Applicant is advised of the obligation under 37 CFR 1.56 to point out the inventor and effective filing dates of each claim that was not commonly owned as of the effective filing date of the later invention in order for the examiner to consider the applicability of 35 U.S.C. 102(b)(2)(C) for any potential 35 U.S.C. 102(a)(2) prior art against the later invention.
Claims 4-5 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. sec. 103 as being unpatentable as obvious in view of United States Patent No.: 7427450 B2 to Raiser that was filed in 2006 and in view of Chinese Patent Pub. No.: CN102501776B to Sanmenxia that was filed in 2011 and in view of QIAO and Mitsutani.
Raiser is silent but Sanmenxia teaches “... 4. The power control device of claim 1, wherein the processor acquires a
target amount of output of the high-voltage load for each traveling time based on operation information of the high-voltage load received through the communicator, acquires a target amount of power of the high-voltage load for each traveling time corresponding to the acquired target amount of output for each traveling time, acquires a default amount of power of the high-voltage load for each traveling time
based on a traveling speed received through the communicator, and acquires a reference time for output decrease control of the high-voltage load based on the
acquired target amount of power for each traveling time and the acquired default amount of power for each traveling time”. (See claim 1-7 where the energy prediction provides a speed of the vehicle and a torque; and where the battery and super capacitor signal can be provided and a battery pack can be discharged based on the DC-DC converters; From functional requirement, need the driving and the Brake energy recovery control that realize vehicle.In hybrid power system, super capacitor belongs to accessory feed, and it plays the effect of peak load shifting.As shown in Figure 1, vehicle in the process of moving, DPS microprocessor 3 receives onboard navigation system 11 and gathers following one section of road running mode information, the charged information of power accumulator group 4 and super capacitor 6, the information of electric switch pedal or brake pedal electrical potential information and electric machines test unit 7 detection, process after filtering, DSP microprocessor 3 pairs of information carry out identification prediction analysis, use energy control strategy, the discharge and recharge ratio of motivation of adjustment battery pack 4 discharge and recharge and super capacitor 6, export control signal through Phototube Coupling process, send to motor drive control device 2, the conducting of the power switch pipe in further control two bidirectional DC-DC converters 5 and cut-off, and then control the energy management of power accumulator and super capacitor, this system is a set of closed loop control system.)”.
It would have been obvious for one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date with a reasonable expectation of success to combine the disclosure of RAISER with the teachings of Sanmenxia since Sanmenxia teaches that a vehicle can include a battery and a super capacitor that are operatively connected to a motor and motor drive control device. The processor can examine the GPS location, the speed, the acceleration, the traffic flow and road speed limits. This can be provided for a control strategy such as in heavy traffic and slow speed time periods, then a battery can be provided only. However, when the energy is really needed then a discharge of the super capacitor 6 can be provided. This can provide more power as both the battery and super capacitor can provide increased motor drive via two bi directional dc dc converters and then other time it is cut off for energy management and charging.
Raiser is silent but Sanmenxia teaches 5. The power control device of claim 4, wherein the processor confirms the amount of the peak power corresponding to the traveling speed received through the communicator. (See claim 1-7 where the energy prediction provides a speed of the vehicle and a torque; and where the battery and super capacitor signal can be provided and a battery pack can be discharged based on the DC-DC converters; From functional requirement, need the driving and the Brake energy recovery control that realize vehicle.In hybrid power system, super capacitor belongs to accessory feed, and it plays the effect of peak load shifting.As shown in Figure 1, vehicle in the process of moving, DPS microprocessor 3 receives onboard navigation system 11 and gathers following one section of road running mode information, the charged information of power accumulator group 4 and super capacitor 6, the information of electric switch pedal or brake pedal electrical potential information and electric machines test unit 7 detection, process after filtering, DSP microprocessor 3 pairs of information carry out identification prediction analysis, use energy control strategy, the discharge and recharge ratio of motivation of adjustment battery pack 4 discharge and recharge and super capacitor 6, export control signal through Phototube Coupling process, send to motor drive control device 2, the conducting of the power switch pipe in further control two bidirectional DC-DC converters 5 and cut-off, and then control the energy management of power accumulator and super capacitor, this system is a set of closed loop control system.)
It would have been obvious for one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date with a reasonable expectation of success to combine the disclosure of RAISER with the teachings of Sanmenxia since Sanmenxia teaches that a vehicle can include a battery and a super capacitor that are operatively connected to a motor and motor drive control device.

This can provide more power as both the battery and super capacitor can provide increased motor drive via two bi directional dc dc converters and then other time it is cut off for energy management and charging.
Claim 6 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. sec. 103 as being unpatentable as obvious in view of United States Patent No.: 7427450 B2 to Raiser that was filed in 2006 and in view of Chinese Patent Pub. No.: CN102501776B to Sanmenxia that was filed in 2011 and in view of Chinese Patent Pub. No.: CN103997093B to Beijing Institute filed in 2014 and in view of Qiao and Mitsutani.
The primary reference is silent as to but Beijing Institute teaches “...6. The power control device of claim 4, wherein the processor controls the high-voltage load so that the output of the high-voltage load is increased based on the acquired reference time. (see abstract where based on the GPS location and current height the power demand and super capacitor can be discharged at this time).
It would have been obvious for one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date with a reasonable expectation of success to combine the disclosure of RAISER with the teachings of BEIJING INSTITUTE since BEIJING INSTITUTE teaches that a vehicle can include a battery and a super capacitor that are operatively connected to a motor and motor drive control device. The processor can examine the GPS location to determine elevation drop. Then a recharging the super capacitor can be made by moving down hill. This can be provided for a control strategy to provide more power when demanded and then charging when going down hill and using the battery as well. See abstract and paragraph 1-6 and claim 1.
Raiser discloses “...7. The power control device of claim 1, wherein the high-voltage load includes at least one of a compressor of a heating/ventilation/air conditioning (HVAC) device or a heater of the HVAC device”. (see col. 4, line 46).
Claims 8, and 10, 13 to 16, 18-20 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. sec. 103 as being unpatentable as obvious in view of United States Patent No.: 7427450 B2 to Raiser that was filed in 2006 and in view of Chinese Patent Pub.

In regard to claim 8 and 16, Raiser discloses “...8. A power control device comprising:
a communicator; and
a processor configured to acquire a target amount of output of a high-voltage load for each traveling time based on operation information of the high-voltage load (see col. 4, lines 40-65 where the device has a power management and distribution system 26 that controls the ultracapacitor and the battery so the battery provides 2/3 of the total power output and an ultracapacitor provides the 1/3 total)

Raiser is silent but Sanmenxia teaches “... acquire a target amount of power for each traveling time corresponding to the acquired target amount of output for each traveling time, (See claim 1-7 where the energy prediction provides a speed of the vehicle and a torque; and where the battery and super capacitor signal can be provided and a battery pack can be discharged based on the DC-DC converters; From functional requirement, need the driving and the Brake energy recovery control that realize vehicle.In hybrid power system, super capacitor belongs to accessory feed, and it plays the effect of peak load shifting.As shown in Figure 1, vehicle in the process of moving, DPS microprocessor 3 receives onboard navigation system 11 and gathers following one section of road running mode information, the charged information of power accumulator group 4 and super capacitor 6, the information of electric switch pedal or brake pedal electrical potential information and electric machines test unit 7 detection, process after filtering, DSP microprocessor 3 pairs of information carry out identification prediction analysis, use energy control strategy, the discharge and recharge ratio of motivation of adjustment battery pack 4 discharge and recharge and super capacitor 6, export control signal through Phototube Coupling process, send to motor drive control device 2, the conducting of the power switch pipe in further control two bidirectional DC-DC converters 5 and cut-off, and then control the energy management of power accumulator and super capacitor, this system is a set of closed loop control system.)

Beijing Institute teaches “...confirm an amount of peak power corresponding to a traveling speed received through the communicator and a default amount of power for each traveling time predict a total amount of power based on the target amount of power for each traveling time and the default amount of power for each traveling time, determine that the peak power is generated based on the predicted total amount of power and the confirmed amount of peak power, in response to determination that the peak power is generated, control the (see claim 1 and FIG 2 that recites FIG. 2 illustrates the flow of the method of the present invention. The satellite geographic information subsystem superposes the geographic coordinates of the automobile and the coordinates in the geographic information database, so that the current position information of the automobile is obtained. When the satellite geographic information system fails due to factors such as tunnels, canyons and the like, the geomagnetic and inertial subsystems provide auxiliary navigation information, the inertial measurement system records the change condition of the motion state of the vehicle, integrates the speed in the working condition of the vehicle according to small segments, and makes up the loss of the satellite geographic information by combining the state change information of the inertial measurement system and the geomagnetic north-pointing information.
The navigation information obtained by the two ways is gathered to a control unit (500), and the control unit judges the potential energy change condition of the road to be driven. For example, if the altitude of the highest point on the road to be driven is 100 meters higher than the current point, the potential energy difference is calculated according to 100 meters, and the potential energy difference is multiplied by a loss coefficient to obtain a value of the electric quantity to be supplemented, and at the moment, the battery pack charges the super capacitor while driving the motor (600); when the altitude of the road to be driven is 100 meters lower than the current point, the potential energy difference is calculated according to 100 meters, the discharge current proportion of the super capacitor in the composite power supply is increased after the potential energy difference is multiplied by a loss coefficient, and the spare capacity of the super capacitor is rapidly increased to absorb the electric energy converted from the potential energy of the road section to be driven. Due to the fact that the energy use condition is judged in advance and energy scheduling is conducted by the method, the use efficiency of the super capacitor energy is improved, and the effective driving range of the vehicle is increased.)

The primary reference to Raiser is silent but QIAO teaches “...wherein the high-voltage load is a load configured to receive a voltage higher than or equal to a preset voltage,
wherein the processor acquires a first reference time and a second reference time based on the predicted total amount of power for each traveling time and the confirmed amount of peak power, controls the high-voltage load so that the output of the high-voltage load is decreased for the first reference time, and controls the high-voltage load so that the output of the high-voltage load reaches a target output for the second reference time when the first reference time elapses. (See FIG. 2 where the charge peak power is at a maximum condition and then the rated power to be discharged drops from a first level to a second smaller level) (See FIG. 2 where the charge peak power is at a maximum condition and then the rated power to be discharged drops from a first level to a second smaller level) (See FIG. 2a and 2b where the charge peak power is at a maximum condition and then the rated power to be discharged drops from a first level to a second smaller level and then increases to a maximum higher level and see paragraph 99-104)”.
It would have been obvious for one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date to combine the teachings of QIAO with the disclosure of RAISER with a reasonable expectation of success since QIAO teaches that a battery can include an actual power of the battery and a rated power of the battery that can provide a peak power of the battery. The battery can be discharged by not the peak power of the battery but instead at a lower battery power that is a rated power. See claims 1-6. This can provide a peak power when going uphill and in other instances keep the power lower to prevent damaging the battery. See paragraph 1-10 of Qiao.
RAISER is silent but MITSUTANI teaches “...wherein the processor acquires a decrease in the output of the high-voltage load based on a difference between the received total amount of power and the amount of the peak power, (see paragraph 82-88 where there are two sides or a master side and a slave side and a failure of one side due to an abnormality can be determined and then the one side shut down)

(see claims 1-6 paragraph 66-70 where the capacitors are increased in voltage VH to pre charge them to use these in addition with the one side to provide power when there is an abnormality and this can occur while using the other side to isolate the battery abnormality side and provide an increased high voltage load to limp home)
It would have been obvious for one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date with a reasonable expectation of success to combine the disclosure of RAISER with the teachings of MITSUTANI since MITSUTANI teaches that a vehicle can include in Fig. 4 a master side with a converter and buses and a slave side with a converter and buses. There can be a failure in a system. In this case, the device can then precharge capacitors and use these and isolate one of the master and the slave sides. See paragraph 7-8 and claims 1-6. Here a failure may occur and the vehicle may not have power due to a faulty voltage sensor or other component however travel performance of the vehicle so the vehicle can pass other vehicles can be provided while shutting down the abnormal devices.
Beijing teaches “...10. The power control device of claim 8, wherein the processor controls the high-voltage load so that the output of the high-voltage load is increased for the first reference time when the second reference time elapses”. (see abstract and claim 1 and FIG 2 that recites FIG. 2 illustrates the flow of the method of the present invention. The satellite geographic information subsystem superposes the geographic coordinates of the automobile and the coordinates in the geographic information database, so that the current position information of the automobile is obtained.

30 increase control section, and controls the high-voltage load so that the output of the high-voltage load is increased in the increase control section. (see claim 1 and FIG 2 that recites FIG. 2 illustrates the flow of the method of the present invention. The satellite geographic information subsystem superposes the geographic coordinates of the automobile and the coordinates in the geographic information database, so that the current position information of the automobile is obtained. When the satellite geographic information system fails due to factors such as tunnels, canyons and the like, the geomagnetic and inertial subsystems provide auxiliary navigation information, the inertial measurement system records the change condition of the motion state of the vehicle, integrates the speed in the working condition of the vehicle according to small segments, and makes up the loss of the satellite geographic information by combining the state change information of the inertial measurement system and the geomagnetic north-pointing information.
The navigation information obtained by the two ways is gathered to a control unit (500), and the control unit judges the potential energy change condition of the road to be driven. For example, if the altitude of the highest point on the road to be driven is 100 meters higher than the current point, the potential energy difference is calculated according to 100 meters, and the potential energy difference is multiplied by a loss coefficient to obtain a value of the electric quantity to be supplemented, and at the moment, the battery pack charges the super capacitor while driving the motor (600); when the altitude of the road to be driven is 100 meters lower than the current point, the potential energy difference is calculated according to 100 meters, the discharge current proportion of the super capacitor in the composite power supply is increased after the potential energy difference is multiplied by a loss coefficient, and the spare capacity of the super capacitor is rapidly increased to absorb the electric energy converted from the potential energy of the road section to be driven. Due to the fact that the energy use condition is judged in advance and energy scheduling is conducted by the method, the use efficiency of the super capacitor energy is improved, and the effective driving range of the vehicle is increased.)
It would have been obvious for one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date with a reasonable expectation of success to combine the disclosure of RAISER with the teachings of BEIJING INSTITUTE since BEIJING INSTITUTE teaches that a vehicle can include a battery and a super capacitor that are operatively connected to a motor and motor drive control device. The processor can examine the GPS location to determine elevation drop. Then a recharging the super capacitor can be made by moving down hill. This can be provided for a control strategy to provide more power when demanded and then charging when going down hill and using the battery as well. See abstract and paragraph 1-6 and claim 1.
