Appeal No. 2003-1611 Page 6
Application No. 09/243,794
Although "[a]n image of the slit light . . . is obtained by the CCD camera 4," id.
at ll. 60-61, we are unpersuaded that image is obtained via reflection of the slit light
from the surface of the rotary mirror. To the contrary, Figures 1 and 9 show that the
CCD camera obtains the image directly from the object. Therefore, we reverse the
anticipation rejection of claim 22 and of claims 23 and 24, which depend therefrom.
CONCLUSION
In summary, the rejection of claims 22-24 under § 102(b) is reversed.
