               Appeal No. 2004-2147                                                                                                 
               Application No. 10/241,556                                                                                           

              number of pixels in the solid-state detector.  As we have noted in our discussion of claim                            
              1, the “desired image size” simply refers to the pixel density and pixel size that is                                 
              required by the output device.  As we have also discussed with regard to claim 1, the                                 
              pixel size and pixel density of the display in Sayed are not disclosed as undergoing                                  
              change.  We further find that, regardless of the number of pixels in the CCD device, the                              
              number of pixels in the display device does not change, and are thus “substantially                                   
              constant.”  The number of pixels in the display are, in fact, constant, unless and until the                          
              resolution of the display is changed (e.g., from 800x600 pixels to 1024x768 pixels).                                  
                      We sustain the rejection of claims 19 through 22.                                                             


                                                        CONCLUSION                                                                  
                      The rejection of claims 1, 8, and 15-18 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 is affirmed.  The                               
              rejection of claims 2, 3, 5-7, 9, 10, 12-14, and 19-22 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed.
