Appeal No. 97-0514
Application 08/345,114
We therefore conclude that the term "radiation" as
used in the instant claims should be interpreted according to
its ordinary and accustomed meaning. Since this meaning
includes a magnetic field, "radiation" is readable on the
magnetic fields detected by Murphy, Fichtenbaum and Seddick.
Rejections (2) and (3) will accordingly be sustained.
Conclusion
The examiner's decision to reject claims 1 to 27
under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph, is reversed, and to
reject claims 1, 3, 6 to 12, 15, 17, 18 and 22 to 27 under 35
U.S.C. §§ 102(b) and 103 is affirmed.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in
con- nection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR §
1.136(a).
