CTNF 18/912,672 CTNF 100249 DETAILED ACTION 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. Drawings 06-22-01 AIA The drawings are objected to under 37 CFR 1.83(a) because they fail to show [integrity; lack; absence; presence] as described in the specification. Any structural detail that is essential for a proper understanding of the disclosed invention should be shown in the drawing. MPEP § 608.02(d). Corrected drawing sheets in compliance with 37 CFR 1.121(d) are required in reply to the Office action to avoid abandonment of the application. Any amended replacement drawing sheet should include all of the figures appearing on the immediate prior version of the sheet, even if only one figure is being amended. The figure or figure number of an amended drawing should not be labeled as “amended.” If a drawing figure is to be canceled, the appropriate figure must be removed from the replacement sheet, and where necessary, the remaining figures must be renumbered and appropriate changes made to the brief description of the several views of the drawings for consistency. Additional replacement sheets may be necessary to show the renumbering of the remaining figures. Each drawing sheet submitted after the filing date of an application must be labeled in the top margin as either “Replacement Sheet” or “New Sheet” pursuant to 37 CFR 1.121(d). If the changes are not accepted by the examiner, the applicant will be notified and informed of any required corrective action in the next Office action. The objection to the drawings will not be held in abeyance. Specification 06-30 AIA 35 U.S.C. 112(a) or pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, requires the specification to be written in “full, clear, concise, and exact terms.” The specification is replete with terms which are not clear, concise and exact. The specification should be revised carefully in order to comply with 35 U.S.C. 112(a) or pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112. Examples of some unclear, inexact or verbose terms used in the specification are: [integrity; lack; absence; presence; good; bad] .

In claim 12 line 1, “indicates presence of circuit integrity” ---, should be corrected to ---, “indicates a presence of circuit integrity” ---. III. In claim 12 line 3, “detecting a current flowing in the monitoring circuit” ---, should be corrected to ---, “detecting the current flowing in the monitoring circuit” ---. IV.

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 7-17 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. Claim 7 recites “a circuit integrity of the power removal circuit”. The word (integrity) is vague and unclear because it is not a technical term to be used when it comes to the art of power switching. In other words, a circuit breaker can be operated to be switched ON or to be switched OFF, which raises the question; why using the word (integrity) to incorporate the switch operation in terms of ON/OFF status, while the specification is equating the circuit integrity to the circuit continuity of the electrical connectivity. Again, what does the Applicant want from inserting word “integrity”. The specification, paragraph [0020] describes the word (integrity) as (continuity and/or operability), also, emphasis added by paragraphs [0024], [0030], and [0035], respectively, to confirm the operation status feature and that is; (“good circuit integrity”/”presence of circuit integrity”/”operational with circuit integrity”/”no fault”, all is equivalent to the ON status), similarly, (“bad circuit integrity”/“absence of circuit integrity”/”non-operational without circuit integrity”/”fault”, all is equivalent to the OFF status). In other words, if the Applicant is describing the word “integrity” as to correspond to the operability of the circuit breaker in terms of the ON/OFF operational-status, then what does the word “lack” as recited in claim 11 mean in terms of the circuit breaker operational ON/OFF status, because neither the specification nor the drawing explicitly discloses the meaning of the feature “lack of circuit integrity”. In other words, good/operational/presence/with integrity, all is to refer to the ON status of the circuit breaker; similarly, the complete opposite to the above words, all is to refer to the OFF status of the circuit breaker, which leads us back to square one, and that is; what is meant by the feature “lack of circuit integrity”. Thus, for examination purposes, the limitation “circuit integrity” is interpreted as the circuit breaker is operational without fault and its status is ON, and, the limitation “lack of circuit integrity” is interpreted as the circuit breaker is non-operational with fault and its status is OFF. Claims 8-17 inherit the same deficiency as in claim 7. Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 102 07-06 AIA 15-10-15 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. 07-07-aia AIA 07-07 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 – 07-08-aia AIA (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. 07-15 AIA Claim s 7-17 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102 ( a)(1 ) as being anticipated by Endozo et al (US Publication No. 20160141862) .

[0039]- [0059]) to the output signal indicating (i.e., such as output signal indicative from CKT 222 to indicate whether the CB 200 is ON/switch 205 is closed or OFF/TRIPPED/switch 205 is opened; see for example fig. 2, para. [0039]- [0059]) a lack of circuit integrity (i.e., such as lack of circuit integrity as of the CB 200 is OFF/TRIPPED due to a fault event; see for example fig. 2, para. [0039]- [0059]) of the power removal circuit (i.e., such as power removal circuit 204; see for example fig. 2, para. [0039]- [0059]), removing system power (i.e., such as system power SOURCE; see for example fig. 2, para. [0039]- [0059]) from the equipment (i.e., such as equipment LOAD; see for example fig. 2, para. [0039]- [0059]) by actuating (i.e., such as actuating as of energizing CKT 204; see for example fig. 2, para. [0039]- [0059]) the power removal circuit (i.e., such as power removal circuit 204; see for example fig. 2, para. [0039]- [0059]). Regarding claim 16 , is rejected for the same reasons that have already been stated/discussed above in rejected claim 15. {See rejection of claim 15} Regarding claim 17 , Endozo discloses the method (i.e., such as method 300; see for example fig. 3, para. [0039]- [0059]); by actuating (i.e., such as by actuating as of via energizing CKT 274; see for example fig. 2, para. [0039]- [0059]); another power removal circuit (i.e., such as another power removal circuit 274; see for example fig. 2, para. [0039]- [0059]). And, for the rest of the limitations/features in claim 17 is rejected for the same reasons that have already been stated/discussed above in rejected claim 15. {See rejection of claim 15} Claims 1-6 and 18-20 are not elected.
