DETAILED ACTION
This office action is in response to the communication received on 09/18/2026 concerning application no. 18/210,978 filed on 06/16/2023.
Claims 1-21 are pending (Claims 9-19 are withdrawn from consideration).
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 Arguments
Applicant’s arguments with respect to claim 1 have been considered but are moot because the new ground of rejection does not rely on any reference applied in the prior rejection of record for any teaching or matter specifically challenged in the argument.
Claim Interpretation
Claim 1 recites “element-respective voltage amplitudes and phases”. While the specification does not recite the term “amplitude”, Paragraph 0043 of the instant specification discloses “Locally integrated sample and hold circuits in each cell are disposed to capture a level voltage for the respective element transmit signal for the respective stimulation refresh event….. The analog data can be distributed in low voltage format (0V to 5V range) ...” It is well-known that “Key aspects of amplitude in wave theory include…Unite of measurement: Often measured in decibels (dB) for sound waves or volts for electrical signals.”1 Therefore, the claim element, in its current form, has adequate support for “amplitude” as operational control is performed via consideration of voltage.
Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 112
The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 112(b):
(b) CONCLUSION.—The specification shall conclude with one or more claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which the inventor or a joint inventor regards as the invention.
The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA ), second paragraph:
The specification shall conclude with one or more claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which the applicant regards as his invention.
Claim 5 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 112(b) or 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA ), second paragraph, as being indefinite for failing to particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject matter which the inventor or a joint inventor (or for applications subject to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, the applicant), regards as the invention.
Claim 5 is indefinite for the following reasons:
Recites “a globally distributed ramping analog voltage”. This claim element is indefinite. It would be unclear to one with ordinary skill in the art if the “globally distributed ramping analog voltage” is the same as the “globally distributed programmable level voltage” established in claim 4 or is a separate and distinct feature.
Applicant is encouraged to provide consistent and clear language.
Claims that are not discussed above but are cited to be rejected under 35 U.S.C. 112(b) are also rejected because they inherit the indefiniteness of the claims they respectively depend upon.
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 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.
