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. Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 102 The following is a quotation of the appropriate paragraphs of 35 U.S.C. 102 that form the basis for the rejections under this section made in this Office action: A person shall be entitled to a patent unless – (a)(1) the claimed invention was patented, described in a printed publication, or in public use, on sale , or otherwise available to the public before the effective filing date of the claimed invention. Claim(s) 14, 15, 22- 24 and 30-34 is/are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102 (a)(2) as being anticipated by EP 3462813 to Moon . Regarding claim 14 , 23 , 30, 32 and 33 : An electromagnetic heating device /method (cooking unit shown in Fig. 3) with A cookware detection circuit , comprising: a control module (250; “single pu s le in line with P1”) configured to output a single pulse cookware detection signal to a half- bridge drive module (IV1-IV3) of the electromagnetic heating device to drive a coil disk to perform a resonant operation through the half-bridge drive module (Half-bridge shown in IV1-IV3; “single pulse in line with P1”) ; and a pulse cookware detection module connected to the coil disk and configured to detect a resonant current of the coil disk (Fig. 3) and generate pulse signals based on the resonant current of the coil disk (¶ [0151]) , wherein the control module is connected to the pulse detection module, and is further configured to count the pulse signals and determine whether cookware is placed on the electromagnetic heating device based on the number of the pulse signals (¶ [0150] and [0021] “target object” ). Having a computer readable storage medium/memory and processor (processing architecture of 250) for performing the detection steps (inherent memory which is used for storing the control instructions). Regarding claim s 15 and 24 wherein the pulse detection module includes: a current detection unit connected to the coil disk and configured to detect the resonant current of the coil disk to output a cookware detection current signal (see current detection, best shown in Figs. 6-7) ;a load unit connected to the current detection unit and configured to generate a voltage detection signal based on the cookware detection current signal (¶ [0021]) ; and a zero-crossing voltage comparison unit connected to the load unit and configured to output the one or more pulse signals based on the voltage detection signal (¶ [0021]) . Regarding claim s 22 and 31 Wherein the control module is further configured to determine, in response to the number of the one or more pulse signals is smaller than a predetermined value, the cookware is placed on the electromagnetic heating device ( ¶ [0021] the “target object” being the cookware ) and determining in response to determining the number of the one or more pulse signals is greater than or equal to the predetermined value that no cookware is placed on the electromagnetic heating device (¶ [0021] when no ”target object” is detected). Allowable Subject Matter Claims 16-21 and 25-29 are objected to as being dependent upon a rejected base claim, but would be allowable if rewritten in independent form including all of the limitations of the base claim and any intervening claims. The further circuitry components and functions of claims 16-21 and 25-29 are not anticipated or made obvious by the prior art.
