Fourth, once satisfied with the message the user in Tarlow’s
recording center pushes a “transfer” button. Fifth, upon
receiving the transfer command the recording center transfers the
message from its RAM by permanently “burning” the message into an
electronically programmable read only memory (EPROM) contained in
a removable playback module. Sixth, the user inserts the
playback module into a compartment within a greeting card or
other product. Page 3, line 8 through page 4, line 2; page 4,
lines 13-19; and page 7, line 24 through page 8, line 27.
Thus, Tarlow repetitively records a message in a recording
center’s RAM and then permanently transfers a recorded message
from the RAM to a playback module’s EPROM. The playback module
constitutes the recited “label adapted for being releasibly
secured to a product.” Tarlow’s recording center is a means for
repetitively and reusably recording a vocal message in a RAM and
for reusably recording the message into the playback module’s
EPROM.
Tarlow’s recording center does not repetitively and reusably
record a message into the playback module/label (Claim 1) and
does not sequentially and reusably store a signal in RAM
contained in the label (Claim 15). Rather, Tarlow intends the
playback module’s EPROM to store a message permanently. Page 2,
