Appeal No. 96-2744
Application 08/004,734
coloring an optical fiber, thereby making it nontransparent...the
nontransparent cladding of Abe absorbs electromagnetic energy,
whereas the transparent synthetic resin voxels of Appellant's
invention absorb electromagnetic energy and emit light in
response thereto." Therefore, we find no suggestion in Abe for
treating the fiber ends 36 of Gery to provide "a bead of resin
doped with a dye that emits visible light when stimulated by
light energy," as required by claim 50.
