Appeal No. 95-1220
Application 07/972,279
FLEMING, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal from the final rejec-
tion of claims 1 through 3, 5, 7 through 10 and 13 through 24.
Claims 4, 6, 11 and 12 have been canceled. On January 24,
1994, Appellants filed an after final amendment amending claim
24. The Examiner in an advisory action, mailed February 3,
1994, stated that upon the filing of an appeal, the proposed
amendment, filed January 24, 1994, will be entered. We note
that the amendment has been entered into the record and
thereby, amended claim 24 is properly before us for our
consideration.
Appellants’ invention relates to optical-digital
signal processing systems that extract features from optical
images for pattern recognition. On page 4 of the
specification, Appellants disclose that Figure 1 shows the key
components of the optical-digital processor which employs both
angular correlation and Hough transform algorithms.
