Appeal No. 97-0974
Application No. 08/234,294
We are unpersuaded by the appellant's contentions. The
appellant is correct in noting that sensing modes including
coarse, fine, yaw, pitch and roll positions are described on
page 51, and roll and zoom modes are described on page 49. We
must point out, however, that there appears to be no
disclosure of any structure which performs the function of
automatically selecting different ones of the sensing modes
(independent claims 50 and 74) or which corresponds to a
selector for automatically selecting the sensing mode to be
used (independent claim 75). Accordingly, the meaning to be
ascribed to the above-noted "means" and "selector" clauses is
unclear when read in light of the specification.
