Appeal No. 95-4968
Application 08/074,518
of induction calculating means or a character recognizing means
for recognizing a character based on difference between fields of
induction on the retina of different character images calculated
by said field of induction calculating means.
On pages 4 and 5 of the answer, the Examiner argues that
Foote teaches a field induction calculating means in column 4,
lines 31-44 and lines 56-62. The Examiner further argues that
Foote teaches a character recognition means in column 5, lines
11-22.
Appellant further argues in the reply brief, filed May 9,2
1995, that Appellant's claimed "field of induction calculating
means" is not anticipated by the Foote disclosure at column 4,
lines 31-44 and lines 56-62. Appellant argues that Foote teaches
four recording heads receiving part of the magnetic induction
field from each character being read but at no time does Foote
teach calculating a field of induction of the character image
input for said input means as claimed by Appellant. Appellant
argued in the brief and further emphasized in the oral hearing
that the field of induction calculating means must be construed
We note that the Examiner mailed a letter on August 10, 1995 stating2
that this reply brief has been entered into the record.
