`
`Introduction
`
`REMARKS
`
`Claims 1-6 are pending, of which claim 1 is independent.
`
`Claim 1 has been amended to correct informalities in the claim language and to more
`
`clearly define the present subject matter. No new matter has been added.
`
`Entry of various comments regarding the claims and/orthe art, in the Office Action,
`
`should not be construed as any acquiescence or agreement by Applicants with the stated
`
`reasoning, regardless of whether or not these remarksspecifically address any particular
`
`commentfrom the Office Action.
`
`Reconsideration of this application for allowanceofall pending claims is hereby
`
`respectfully requested in view of the claim amendmentand the following remarks.
`
`Patentability under 35 U.S.C. § 112
`
`Claims 1-6 were rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112(b) as being indefinite. Applicant
`
`submits that the amendments made to claim 1 overcomethe rejection.
`
`Patentability under 35 U.S.C. § 102/103
`
`Claims 1 and 2 were rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(a)(1) as being anticipated by Shonai
`
`et al. (US 2006/0136169). Claims 3-6 were rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable
`
`over Shonai in view of Lee et al. (US 2004/0229082). Without conceding any correctness of the
`
`rejections, Applicant traverses these rejections for at least the following reasons.
`
`At a minimum,noneof the cited references disclose or suggest that “the detection circuit
`
`corrects the distortion component by subtracting a signal obtained by connecting adjacent peaks
`
`
`
`Application No.: 16/612,417
`
`in the distortion waveform, the peak appearing at every (1/16) ofthe period T of the third
`
`signal,” as recited by claim 1. As shown in FIGS. 7C and 7D, the correction is performed using
`
`a signal obtained by connecting adjacent peaksin the distortion waveform, the peak appearing at
`
`every (1/16) of the period T ofthe third signal (22.5 degrees =360/16). Shonai does not disclose
`
`this feature of claim 1.
`
`Assuch, claim 1 and all claims dependent thereon are patentable over the cited
`
`references.
`
`
`
`Application No.: 16/612,417
`
`CONCLUSION
`
`Having fully respondedto all matters raised in the Office Action, Applicant submits that
`
`all claims are in condition for allowance, an indication for whichis respectfully solicited. If
`
`there are any outstanding issues that might be resolved by an interview or an Examiner’s
`
`amendment, the Examineris requested to call Applicant’s attorney at the telephone number
