Hoshino et al. v. Tanaka
coefficient, and ÎBf is the defocus amount. (Hoshino patent,
column 4, lines 12-39).
According to Tanaka, this corrected coefficient is called
S and is determined by the formula: S = S + A x f(Îd) whered d 0
S represents the original constant conversion coefficient
0
(like K in Hoshino’s patent), A is a correction coefficient
0
like Hoshino’s C , and f(Îd) represents a function of the
0
focus deviation Îd (like the defocus amount ÎBf in Hoshino’s
patent). (Tanaka application, pages 12-13).
Discussion
At issue before us is whether Hoshino’s Motion H2,
together with the evidence submitted therewith, is sufficient
to make out a prima facie basis for the relief sought. We
conclude, for reasons discussed in more detail below, that it
does not. Like
the APJ did in rendering the decision on motions, we have not
considered the new points contained in and the evidence
submitted
with Tanaka’s opposition to Hoshino’s Motion H2. Accordingly,
Hoshino’s reply and evidence submitted with the reply need not
