transmitting elements for simultaneously generating a
plurality of beams of light, each of said beams of light
comprising a portion of a predetermined image, the totality of
said beams of light comprising said predetermined image;
(b) a controller for controlling each of said light
transmitting elements to periodically form said predetermined
image from said beams of light comprising a portion of said
predetermined image in a predetermined x-y plane;
(c) a light receiver/transmitter to receive and transmit
said predetermined image along an axis passing through said x-
y plane; and
(d) a rotating receiver having an axis of rotation along
said axis for receiving and displaying said predetermined
image, said light receiver being rotatable about said axis.
The following references are relied on by the examiner:
2The notice of appeal filed on July 17, 1985 lists only
claims 1 to 31 and not claim 32. We consider the failure to
list claim 32 in the notice of appeal as an inadvertent error.
