`Claim Rejections - 35 USC§ 103
`
`1.
`
`The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 103(a) which forms the basis for all
`
`obviousness rejections set forth in this Office action:
`
`(a) A patent may not be obtained though the invention is not identically disclosed or described as set
`forth in section 102 of this title, if the differences between the subject matter sought to be patented and
`the prior art are such that the subject matter as a whole would have been obvious at the time the
`invention was made to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which said subject matter pertains.
`Patentability shall not be negatived by the manner in which the invention was made.
`
`2.
`
`Claims 1-37, are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as bei.ng unpatentable over
`
`Jones et al. (4,831 ,509) in view of Wrenbeck et al. (5,436,539).
`
`As recited in claims 1 and 2, Jones et al. disclose an apparatus for controlling
`
`motion of a motor driven element over a range of motion and for altering said motion
`
`when undesirable resistance to the motion is encountered, said apparatus comprising: a
`
`sensor for measuring a parameter of a motor coupled to the motor driven element that
`
`varies in response to a resistance to motion during all or part of a range of motion of the
`
`motor driven element (column 3, lines 7-16); a memory for storing a number of
`
`measurement values from the sensor based on measurements of said parameter over
`
`at least a portion of the range of motion (abstract; column 3, line 56 through column 4,
`
`line 14; and column 5, lines 26-57); a cO'ntroller (microprocessor; figure 8) coupled to
`
`the memory for determining to de-activate the motor based on the measurement values
`
`stored in the memory as the rt:lotor driven element moves over its range of motion
`
`(column 4, lines 49-55); and a controller interface coupled to the motor for altering
`
`motion of said motor driven element in response to a determination made by the
`
`controller (column 4 , lines 53-57), wherein altering is also in response to a
`
`determination that the parameter is outside the parameter range.

`position (column 3, lines 17-28).
`
`As recited in claims 5, 10, and 11 , Jones et al. disclose the method, movement is
`
`first initiated toward a closed position when a leading edge of the window or panel is
`
`near the closed position and wherein the reverse actuation is performed upon a sensing
`
`of an obstacle that is based on determining the parameter is outside the parameter
`
`range (column 3, lines 17-28; and column 4, lines 49-57).
`
`As recited in claims 6 and 33, Jones et al. disclose an apparatus for controlling
`

`
`power is applied to the controller by: monitoring movement of the window or panel by
`
`monitoring a signal from the sensor related to the movement of the window or panel
`
`(column 3, Lines 9-28}, identifying a collision of the window or panel with an obstacle
`
`due to a change in the _signal from the sensor that is related to a change in movement
`
`of the window or panel (column 3, line 56 through column 4, line 55); and outputting a
`
`control signal to said switch to deactivate said motor in response to a sensing of a
`
`collision between an obstacle and said window or panel (column 4 , Lines 55-57).

`interface additionally coupling the controller to the movement sensor for monitoring
`
`signals from said movement sensor (discussed above; said controller comprising a
`
`stored program that: determines motor speed from an output signal from the movement
`
`sensor (column 3, lines 17-28); calculates an obstacle detect threshold based on motor
`
`speed of movement detected during at least one prior period of motor operation (column
`
`3, lines 39-47); compares a value based on currently sensed motor movement with the
`
`obstacle detect threshold (column 3, lin~s 48-55., and column 3, Line 56 through
`.
`.
`
`column 4, line 14); and outputs a signal from the interface to said switch for stopping the
`
`motor if the comparison based on currently sensed motor movement indicates the
`
`object has contacted an obstacle (column 4, lines 49-57).
`
`As recited in claim 13, Jones et al. disclose the apparatus, wherein the controller
`
`includes a buffer memory for storing successive values of motor movement for use in

`
`As recited in claim 15, Jones et al. disclose the apparatus, wherein the controller
`
`includes an interface for monitoring user actuation of control inputs for controlling
`
`movement of the window or panel and wherein the controller maintains a motor
`
`energization sequence a specified minimum time period in response to a short period
`
`user actuation of said control inputs to maintain position accuracy in monitoring a
`
`window or pane.l movement (column 3, Line 67 through column 4 , line 14).
`
`As recited in claim 16, Jones et al. disclose the apparatus, wherein the controller
`
`includes an interface for monitoring user actuation of control inputs for controlling
`
`movement of the object and wherein in response to a specified input the controller

`conducts a (calibration motor energization sequence to determine parameters of object
`
`(column 4, Lines 49 through column 5, Line 6).
`
`As recited in claims 17 and 32, Jones et al. disclose the apparatus, wherein the
`
`motor is coupled to a motor vehicle window or panel and wherein the controller includes
`
`an interface for monitoring user actuation of control inputs for controlling movement of
`
`the window or panel and wherein the controller maintains a position indication which is
`
`updated in response movement of the window or panel and further wherein the
`
`controller reverse actuations the motor near an end point in an object path of travel to
`
`avoid false obstacle detection in the region of closure of the window or panel (column 4,
`
`lines 58-68).
`
`As recited in claim 18, Jones et al. disclose the apparatus, wherein the sensor is
`
`a current sensor and wherein the controller includes means for adjusting the obstacle
`
`threshold based on dynamic motor current as sensed from the current sensor to take
`

`
`Page 7
`
`into account varying loads experienced by the motor (column 4, Lines 15-46; and
`
`column 5, Line 60 through column 6, Line 34).
`
`As recited in claim 23, Jones et al. disclose the apparatus, additionally
`
`comprising an obstacle detector having an output coupled to the controller that senses a
`
`disruption in a region through which the window or panel moves (discussed above).
`
`As recited in claim 25, Jones et al. disclose the apparatus, wherein the obstacle
`
`detector comprises an infrared light source and detector (column 3, Lines 9-16).
`
`Jones does not disclose that the motor driven element is in a vehicle.. Jones et
`
`al. does not disclose immediate past measurements.
`
`However, Wrenbeck et al. disclose an apparatus for controlling motion of a motor
`
`driven element in a vehicle over a range of motion and for altering said motion when
`
`undesirable resistance to said motion is encountered (abstract; and column 1, lines 5-
`
`9), said apparatus comprising: a sensor (20) for measuring a parameter of a motor
`
`coupled to the motor driven element that varies in response to a resistance to motion
`
`during all or part of a range of motion of the motor driven element; a memory (MEM) for
`
`storing a number of measurement values from the sensor based on immediate past
`
`measurements of said parameter over at least a portion of a present traversal of said
`
`motor driven element throuqh said range of motion (abstract; column 3, lines 51-59);
`
`a controller (CPU) coupled to the memory (MEM) for determining to ·de-activate the
`
`motor based on a most recent sensor measurement of the parameter and the
`
`immediate past measurement values stored in the memory as the motor driven element
`
`moves over its range of motion; and a controller interface coupled to the motor for
`
`BNA/Brose Exhibit 1041

`Page 8
`
`

`

`Application/Control Number: 10/765,487
`Art Unit: 2837
`
`Page 8
`
`altering motion of said motor driven element in response to a determination made by the
`
`controller (figure 1 ).
`
`It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the
`
`invention to utilize the teachings of Wren beck et al. with the teachings of Jones et al.,
`
`because while Jones et al. does not disclose the panel being used in a vehicle, this is
`
`rnerely intended use, wherein Wrenbeck et al. provides the same for a window in a
`
`vehicle. As for the immediate ·past measurements, this limitation is not .really defined.
`
`Even taken as the last past measurement, the fact that Jones et al. provides past
`
`measurements, it is obvious that the ability to measure and use the immediate past
`
`measurement is obtainable. Further Wrenbeck et al. provide the use of the immediate
`
`past measurement.
`
`With respect to claims 21, 22, 24, 26, 27, and 34, Jones et al. do disclose
`
`optoelectronic sensors or transducers. Jones et al. do riot disclose a variety of pickups
`
`or transducers.
`
`Wrenbeck et al. disclose a Hall-effect sensor and a magnetic pick-up (column 3,
`
`lines 27 -37).
`
`It would be obvious to use any type.of sensor, because the teachings merely
`
`provide alternate means for providing the same, wherein one could substitute one
`
`sensor or detector for another.
`
`With respect to claims 36 and 37, Jones et al in view of Wren beck et al. disclose
`
`the claimed invention except for the range in which the measurements are taken (40
`
`milliseconds). It would have been obvious to one having ordinary skill in the art at the
`
`BNA/Brose Exhibit 1041
`IPR2014-00416
`Page 9
`
`

`

`Application/Control Number: 1 Ofi65,487
`Art Unit: 2837
`
`Page 9
`
`time the invention was made to provide measurements at forty millisecond interval,
`
`since it has ~een held that where the general conditions of a claim are disclosed in the
`
`prior art, discovering the optimum or workable ranges involves ~nly routine skill in the
`
`art. In re Aller, 105 USPQ 233.
`
`Response to Arguments
`
`Applicant's arguments with respect to claims 1-35 have been considered but are
`
`moot in view of the new ground(s) of rejection.
`
`The applicant argued that the claims provided the panel or window being in a
`
`vehicle. While this is merely intended use, a reference has been provided to show this
`
`obvious teaching. The applicant further argues that the prior art does not provide the
`
`immediate past measurements from the sensors. However, the fact that past
`
`measurements can be taken, makes it obvious to one skilled in the art to provide
`
`measurements at any time in the past. The applicant also argues that speed of the
`
`motor is not measured, but rather speed of the motor driven element is measured.
`
`However, it is all relative, since the speed of the motor drives the movement of the
`
`motor driven element. Wrenbeck et al. further provide measuring motor speed. In light
`
`of the new rejection, it believed that the claims are met by the prior art.
