          Appeal No. 96-0552                                                          
          Application 08/146,525                                                      


               Representative claim 18 is reproduced below:                           
               18.  A portable video recording system comprising:                     
               a video sensor for receiving video images;                             
               an audio sensor for receiving sounds;                                  
               a recorder unit for recording signals from the video and               
          audio sensors;                                                              
               a jacket for fitting on an operator; and means for attaching           
          the video sensor, audio sensor and recorder unit on the jacket so           
          that when the operator puts on the jacket, images within the                
          operator’s line of sight are automatically tracked and received             
          by the video sensor independently of the operator’s hands and the           
          weight of the video recording system is evenly distributed on the           
          operator.                                                                   

               The following reference is relied on by the examiner:                  
          Campbell                 4,516,157                May 7, 1985               
               Claims 1 to 6, 8, 9, 11 to 15 and 17 stand rejected under 35           
          U.S.C. § 102(b) as being anticipated by Campbell, and claims 7,             
          10, 16 and 18 to 20 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being           
          obvious over Campbell.                                                      
               Rather than repeat the positions of the appellant and the              
          examiner, reference is made to the briefs and the answers for the           
          respective details thereof.                                                 
                                       OPINION                                        
               We reverse both rejections of all the claims on appeal.
