                Appeal 2006-3333                                                                             
                Application 10/324,601                                                                       
                                   (i)  an opening in said wand for outputting at least one of               
                      said luminescent particles and said activating agent while said wand is                
                      being moved in a spatial pattern by a holder thereof; and                              
                                   (ii)  a user-operable switch for selectively controlling                  
                      said outputting of said particles.                                                     
                      18.  An air writing system, comprising:                                                
                            (a)  a particle generator configured to create an airborne field of              
                      luminescent particles;                                                                 
                            (b)  a source of activating agent for changing a luminance of                    
                      some of said luminescent particles by causing a chemical reaction;                     
                      and                                                                                    
                            (c)  a handheld wand for writing in said field, including an                     
                      opening for outputting a stream of said luminescent particles while                    
                      said wand is being moved in a spatial manner by an air writer.                         

                      29.2   An air writing system, comprising:                                              
                            (a)  means for creating an airborne field of luminescent                         
                      particles; and                                                                         
                            (b)  means for changing a visual intensity of at least some of                   
                      airborne luminescent particles within said field by pointing a wand at                 
                      said airborne luminescent particles during an air writing operation.                   
                      32.  A method for air writing, comprising:                                             



                                                                                                            
                2 It appears that 35 U.S.C. § 112, sixth paragraph is invoked by the claim                   
                language of claim 29.  In any further prosecution of this application, the                   
                Examiner and Appellant should address the § 112, sixth paragraph, issue and                  
                determine the disclosed structure and equivalents thereof which are                          
                encompassed by the means-plus-function claim language.                                       
                                                     3
