`Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103
`
`5.
`
`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.
`

`
`The factual inquiries set forth in Graham v. John Deere Co., 383 U.S. 1, 148
`
`USPQ 459 (1966), that are applied for establishing a background for determining
`
`obviousness under 35 U.S.C. 103 are summarized as follows:

`
`1. Determining the scope and contents of the prior art.
`
`2. Ascertaining the differences between the prior art and the claims at issue.
`
`3. Resolving the level of ordinary skill in the pertinent art.
`
`4. Considering objective evidence present in the application indicating
`

`
`7.
`
`Claims 1-2 and 4 is/are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable
`
`over US 2007/0070531, Lu in view of US 2010/0206357, Littau.
`
`Regarding claim 1
`
`Lu teaches a photovoltaic array (panel concentrator module system 100
`
`comprising concentrator assemblies 150, each having a PV chip having solar cells
`
`mounted on a base plate) [Figs. 1a-1 b, 2a-2b, 4a-4b, paragraphs 0016, 0024-0026 and
`
`0031] comprising:
`
`a two-dimensional array of photovoltaic cells having a plurality of rows (PV cells
`
`are attached in recess 51 of each concentrator assembly 150 which are arranged in a
`
`plurality of rows) [Figs. 1a-1 b, 2a-2b, 4a-4b, paragraphs 0016, 0024-0026 and 0031],
`
`each row of photovoltaic cells having a pivot axis parallel to the row (each row of
`
`concentrator assemblies 150 having PV cells 20 pivot in an axes parallel to the row e.g.,
`
`x-axis) [Figs. 1a-1 b, 2a-2b, paragraphs 0016 and 0025],
`
`each cell having a lens (optics 10 comprising a lens) [paragraphs 0026 and 0031]
`
`having a front surface configured to concentrate light normal to the front surface onto
`
`the photovoltaic element [paragraphs 0026 and 0028]; and
`
`

`

`Application/Control Number: 15/440,070
`Art Unit: 1721
`
`Page 4
`
`a tilt actuator (motor), coupled to each of the rows of photovoltaic elements to
`
`pivot the rows of photovoltaic elements about their pivot axes [paragraphs 0025 and
`
`0027)
`
`Lu does not teach a rotational actuator, coupled to the array of photovoltaic cells
`
`configured to rotate the array of photovoltaic cells about an axis perpendicular to a
`
`plane defined by the array of photovoltaic elements.
`
`Littau teaches mounting a photovoltaic array (one or more solar energy collection
`
`elements e.g., PV cells) on a movable support (turntable) comprising a rotational
`
`actuator (rotational positioning system 130 comprises actuator/motor 135) so that the
`
`photovoltaic device rotates about an axis perpendicular to a plane defined by the array
`
`of photovoltaic elements [Abstract, Figs. 1a-1 b and 3, paragraphs 0011-0012 and 0034-
`
`0035]. One of ordinary skill in the art would have found obvious to providing such
`
`rotational movement in addition to the adjustment of the angular positions, maximizes
`
`the power generation efficiency and further allows tracking to take place for most pitch
`
`angles [paragraphs 0012 and 0042].
`
`Lu and Littau are analogous inventions in the field of photovoltaic arrays.
`
`It
`
`would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date
`
`of the invention to modify the array of Lu to comprise a rotational actuator (which is
`
`coupled to a turntable) as in Littau in order to provide the rotational movement of the
`
`array (which allows tracking to take place for most pitch angles) in addition to the
`
`adjustment of the angular positions, thereby maximizing the power generation efficiency
`
`and effectively tracking the sun [Littau, paragraphs 0012 and 0042].
`
`

`

`Application/Control Number: 15/440,070
`Art Unit: 1721
`
`Regarding claim 2
`
`Page 5
`
`All the limitations of claim 1, from which claim 2 depends, have been set forth
`
`above.
`
`Modified Lu teaches a motor with a helical lead screw (see helical gear 203) as
`
`the tilt actuator for pivoting the rows of photovoltaic elements (x-axis rotation of
`
`concentrator assemblies 150 is accomplished by turning axles 142 from a gear set 203
`
`through a handle 145 and a connecting bar 144) [Fig. 2a and paragraph 0027].
`
`While, Modified Lu teaches a motor as the rotational actuator for rotating the
`
`array of photovoltaic elements [Littau, paragraphs 0011-0012 and 0034-0035], the
`
`embodiment depicting the rotational actuator does not disclose a stepper motor.
`
`However, Lu shows that stepper motors are generally used in the art to perform
`
`rotational adjustments in photovoltaic concentrator arrays [paragraphs 0025 and 0040].
`
`Further actuators include hydraulic or pneumatic systems and robotic adjustors.
`
`Therefore, because Lu teaches choosing from a finite number of identified,
`
`predictable types of actuators, one of ordinary skill in the art would have found obvious
`
`to pursue the known options with reasonable expectation of success [see MPEP 2143].
`
`Since Lu teaches that a stepper leads to the anticipated success of performing perform
`
`rotational adjustments said type of actuating device is not of innovation but of ordinary
`
`skill and common sense [see MPEP 2143].
`
`Regarding claim 4
`
`Modified Lu teaches the photovoltaic array as set forth above, further comprising:
`
`a fixed axis bar (140) connected to of each of the rows by a first pin (186) [Lu, Figs. 1a-
`
`1b and paragraph 0025]; and a pivot driver bar (axle 42) connected to each of the rows
`
`

`

`Application/Control Number: 15/440,070
`Art Unit: 1721
`
`Page 6
`
`by a second pin (171) [Lu, Figs. 1a-1 b and paragraph 0025], wherein the tilt actuator
`
`(motor) pivots the rows by moving the pivot driver bar relative to the fixed axis bar [Lu,
`
`Figs. 1a-1 b, paragraphs 0025, 0027].
`
`8.
`
`Claim 3 is/are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over US
`
`2007/0070531, Lu in view of US 2010/0206357, Littau as applied to claims 1-2 and
`
`4 above, and further in view of US 2014/0373903, Hashimoto et al.
`
`All the limitations of claim 1, from which claim 3 depends, have been set forth
`
`above.
`
`Lu modified by Littau does not teach flexible wiring electrically connecting the
`
`photovoltaic cells to each other.
`
`Hashimoto teaches electrically connecting a plurality of photovoltaic cells using
`
`flexible wiring members which are known to effectively connect photovoltaic cells to
`
`each other and, due to their flexible nature, stress is even less likely to be applied
`
`between wiring member and each photovoltaic cell, thereby producing a photovoltaic
`
`device with improved endurance [paragraphs 0003, 0020 and 0025].
`
`Modified Lu and Hashimoto are analogous inventions in the field of photovoltaic
`
`arrays.
`
`It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective
`
`filing date of the invention to modify the photovoltaic cells of modified Lu to be
`
`connected to each other using flexible wiring because such achieves an effective
`
`electrical connection between cells and, due to their flexible nature, stress is even less
`
`likely to be applied between wiring member and each photovoltaic cell, thereby
`
`producing a photovoltaic device with improved endurance [Hashimoto, paragraphs
`
`0003, 0020 and 0025].

`
`Claims 5 and 6 is/are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable
`
`over US 2007/0070531, Lu in view of US 2010/0206357, Littau as applied to claims
`
`1-2 and 4 above, and further in view of US 20110067688, Reif et al.
`
`All the limitations of claim 1, from which claims 5 and 6 depend, have been set
`
`forth above.
`
`Regarding claim 5
`
`Modified Lu teaches a controller for controlling the rotational actuator and the tilt
`
`actuator to track sunlight based on time of day values and date of year values provided
`
`by a clock circuit [Lu, paragraphs 0016 and 0033-0034; Littau, paragraphs 0035].
`
`Lu modified by Littau does not an open loop controller for controlling the
`
`rotational actuator and the tilt actuator to track sunlight based on time of day values and
`
`date of year values provided by a clock circuit.
`
`Reif teaches a tracking system including an open loop controller for controlling
`
`the rotational actuator and the tilt actuator to track sunlight based on time of day values
`
`and date of year values provided by a clock circuit (an open-loop controller with an
`
`internal clock and a set of pre-calculated motor parameters effects the repositioning of
`
`one or more elements of the solar concentrator system based upon system settings
`
`such as, for example, geographical location of the solar concentrator system the
`
`positioning adjustments may vary) [paragraph 0156].
`
`Modified Lu and Reif are analogous inventions in the field of photovoltaic tracking
`
`arrays.
`
`It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective
`
`filing date of the invention to modify the controller of modified Lu with an open loop
`
`

`

`Application/Control Number: 15/440,070
`Art Unit: 1721
`
`Page 8
`
`controller as in Reif because such can effectively issue control signals that adjust the
`
`position the photovoltaic elements [Reif, paragraphs 0155-0156].
`
`Regarding claim 6
`
`Modified Lu teaches a controller for controlling the rotational actuator and the tilt
`
`actuator to track sunlight based on time of day values and date of year values provided
`
`by a clock circuit [Lu, paragraphs 0016 and 0033-0034; Littau, paragraphs 0035].
`
`Lu modified by Littau does not teach a closed loop controller for controlling the
`
`rotational actuator and the tilt actuator to track sunlight based on time of day values and
`
`date of year values provided by a clock circuit, and based on a signal output by the
`
`array.
`
`Reif teaches a tracking system including an closed loop controller for controlling
`
`the rotational actuator and the tilt actuator to track sunlight based on time of day values
`
`and date of year values provided by a clock circuit (a closed-loop control system relying
`
`on both pre-derived calculated i.e., comprising a clock circuit, as well as external
`
`monitoring devices such as sensors which detect conditions affecting the system, effect
`
`the repositioning of the one of more elements) [paragraphs 0155, 0157 and 0160].
`
`Modified Lu and Reif are analogous inventions in the field of photovoltaic tracking
`
`arrays.
`
`It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective
`
`filing date of the invention to modify the controller of modified Lu with a closed loop
`
`controller as in Reif because such can effectively issue control signals that adjust the
`
`position the photovoltaic elements [Reif, paragraphs 0155, 0157 and 0160].
`
`10.
`
`Claim 7 is/are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over US
`
`2007/0070531, Lu in view of US 2010/0206357, Littau as applied to claims 1 and 4
`
`

`

`Application/Control Number: 15/440,070
`Art Unit: 1721
`
`Page 9
`
`above, and further in view of US 2011/0030672, Olsson and US 9,291,696, Adest et
`
`al.
`
`above.
`
`All the limitations of claim 1, from which claim 7 depends, have been set forth
`
`Modified Lu teaches a controller for controlling the rotational actuator and the tilt
`
`actuator to track sunlight based on time of day values and date of year values provided
`
`by a clock circuit [Lu, paragraphs 0016 and 0033-0034; Littau, paragraphs 0035].
`
`Modified Ly does not teach a capacitor.
`
`Olsson teaches that batteries or capacitors can be used to store the energy from
`
`the photovoltaic cells to provide power to operate both motorized rotation axes
`
`[paragraph 0055].
`
`It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective
`
`filing date of the invention to modify the photovoltaic array of modified Lu to comprise a
`
`capacitor in order to store energy generated from the PV cells which then can be used
`
`to provide power to operate the motorized rotations [Olsson, paragraph 0055].
`
`Lu modified by Littau does not teach the controller being a partially analog
`
`controller for controlling the rotational actuator and tilt actuator to track sunlight based
`
`on an analog comparison between a present signal output by the array and a previous
`
`signal output by the array stored in a capacitor.
`
`Adest teaches controlling the position of a photovoltaic array using an analog
`
`controller, a digital controller of a combination thereof [Col. 3, lines 62-64 and Col. 4,
`
`lines 57-67 to Col. 5, lines 1-13].
`
`

`

`Application/Control Number: 15/440,070
`Art Unit: 1721
`
`Page 10
`
`Therefore, because Adest teaches choosing from a finite number of identified,
`
`predictable types controllers for controlling actuators that are adapted to adjust the
`
`position of photovoltaic arrays, one of ordinary skill in the art would have found obvious
`
`to pursue the known options with reasonable expectation of success [see MPEP 2143].
`
`Since Adest teaches that a combination of analog and digital circuitry leads to the
`
`anticipated success, said type of controller is not of innovation but of ordinary skill and
`
`common sense [see MPEP 2143].
`
`Response to Arguments
`
`11.
`
`Applicant's arguments filed 04/29/2019 have been fully considered but they are
`
`not persuasive.
`
`Applicant argues that since Lu is capable of tracking the motion of the sun
`
`without modification, one of ordinary skill in the art would have had no need to add a
`
`third rotational element to the system of Lu.
`
`Applicant argues that modifying Lu as proposed would have decreased the
`
`efficiency of the system of Lu, by adding a third, unnecessary rotational system.
`
`Applicant argues that one of ordinary skill in the art would not have replaced one
`
`of the rotational axes of Lu with the claimed rotational actuator.
`
`Applicant furher argues that such a modification would impermissibly change the
`
`principle of operation of Lu, by replacing the individual pivot mechanisms of Lu with a
`
`large array-based rotational system.
`
`

`

`Application/Control Number: 15/440,070
`Art Unit: 1721
`
`Page 11
`
`Examiner respectfully disagrees. The examiner is not proposing modifying the
`
`pivoting mechanism in Lu. Rather, the rejection proposes positioning the system of Lu
`
`on a rotating platform which is in turn coupled to a rotational actuator which allows
`
`tracking to take place for most pitch angles) in order to provide the rotational movement
`
`of the array (in addition to the adjustment of the angular positions, thereby maximizing
`
`the power generation efficiency and effectively tracking the sun [Littau, paragraphs 0012
`
`and 0042]. One of ordinary skill in the art would have found obvious to providing such
`
`rotational movement in addition to the adjustment of the angular positions, maximizes
`
`the power generation efficiency and further allows tracking to take place for most pitch
`
`angles [paragraphs 0012 and 0042].
`
`The test for obviousness is not whether the features of a secondary reference
`
`may be bodily incorporated into the structure of the primary reference; nor is it that the
`
`claimed invention must be expressly suggested in any one or all of the references.
`
`Rather, the test is what the combined teachings of the references would have
`
`suggested to those of ordinary skill in the art. See In re Keller, 642 F.2d 413, 208
`
`USPQ 871 (CCPA 1981).
`
`Applicant argues that Lu specifically teaches away from the use of a single "large
`
`tracking structure" for rotating arrays of concentrator assemblies. See Lu at H 3;
`
`M.P.E.P. § 2145(X)(D)(2)
`
`Examiner respectfully disagrees. As set forth above, the test for obviousness is
`
`not whether the features of a secondary reference may be bodily incorporated into the
`
`structure of the primary reference; nor is it that the claimed invention must be expressly
`
`suggested in any one or all of the references. Rather, the test is what the combined
`
`

`

`
`teachings of the references would have suggested to those of ordinary skill in the art.
`
`See In re Keller, 642 F.2d 413, 208 USPQ 871 (CCPA 1981).
`
`One of ordinary skill in the art would have found obvious to providing such
