CTNF 18/326,164 CTNF 89996 Notice of Non-Final Rejection Notice of Pre-AIA or AIA Status 07-03-aia AIA 15-10-aia 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 § 112 07-30-02 AIA 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. 07-34-01 Claims 1-7 are 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. Referring to claim 1, claims a wave player system in preamble , which is a part of quantum computer system and operates on the same principles of any ordinary computer system. However, it further claims a waveform generator, a memory associated with it and a processing unit which access a first play table entry of the plurality of play table entries. Neither the specification nor claim defines it as a transitory signal. It is not clear to the examiner whether non-transitory signals on computer readable medium performing these operations or a transitory signals performing these operations. Hence, examiner unable to determine the scope of the claim language. In order to overcome this rejection, examiner suggests to introduce “ a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions in a wave player system comprising: …….” . Since, claim 1 is rejected under indefiniteness, depending claims 2-7 are also rejected. Allowable Subject Matter 12-151-07 AIA 07-97 12-51-07 Claim s 8-20 are allowed. Referring to claim 8, the closest prior art of record fails to teach or reasonably suggest that a computer-implemented method, comprising: storing, by a system operatively coupled to the processor, at a memory associated with a waveform generator, a waveform play table comprising a plurality of play table entries having a plurality of waveform definition aspects that comprise, or direct to, a plurality of parameters that define a plurality of waveforms; and accessing, by a processing unit of the system that is associated with the waveform generator a first play table entry, of the plurality of play table entries, comprising a first waveform definition aspect, of the plurality of waveform definition aspects, based on an instruction obtained at the processing unit. Hence, claims 8-14 are allowed. Referring to claim 8, the closest prior art of record fails to teach or reasonably suggest: A computer program product facilitating a process to generate a waveform, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to: store, by the processor, at a memory associated with a waveform generator, a waveform play table comprising a plurality of play table entries having a plurality of waveform definition aspects that comprise, or direct to, a plurality of parameters that define a plurality of waveforms; and access, by an additional processing unit of the system, that is associated with the waveform generator a first play table entry, of the plurality of play table entries, comprising a first waveform definition aspect, of the plurality of waveform definition aspects, based on an instruction obtained at the processing unit. Hence, claim 15 and depending claims 16-20 are allowed. Conclusion Claims1-7 are rejected. 12-151-07 AIA 07-97 12-51-07 Claim s 8-20 are allowed.
