Appeal No. 95-3583
Application No. 08/185,294
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 1
through 4.
The disclosed invention relates to a system for adjusting
the transverse location of an exposure frame on a photoreceptor
belt in relation to the detected lateral position of a set of
three inclined slots associated with the exposure frame. Each
slot is inclined at an angle with respect to a transverse line
perpendicular to the process direction of the exposure frame on
the photoreceptor belt.
Claim 1 is the only independent claim on appeal, and it
reads as follows:
1. An improved imaging system for forming multiple image
exposure frames on a photoconductive member including:
a photoreceptor belt adapted to accommodate the formation of
an integral number of image exposure frames, said belt having a
plurality of target apertures formed outside of the exposure area
and associated with each exposure frame respectively,
detecting means associated with said target apertures for
detecting changes in the lateral position of each aperture, the
apertures in said belt moving through a process direction, and
means for generating signals for adjusting the transverse
location of said exposure frames in relation to the detected
lateral position of said apertures wherein the improved apertures
comprise a set of three inclined slots, each slot alternately and
differently inclined with respect to each other at an angle 2
which is greater than 0E with respect to a transverse line
