13. The photoconductor 2 may be single-layered
(Fig. 1) or dual-layered (Fig. 2) (specification, page 12,
line 15).
14. When single-layered, the single layer performs
both charge generation and charge transport functions; when
dual-layered, one layer performs the charge generation
function and the other layer performs the charge transport
function (specification, page 12, lines 16-20).

invention is a binder resin of self-cross-linked PVB having
the formula set out in claim 1, reproduced supra in Finding 2
(specification, page 15, line 32 through page 16, line 17).
16. Cross-linking of the PVB is effected by heating
it to between 150E - 300E C. (specification, page 16, lines
18-19) for about 2 hours (specification, page 9, lines 7-9).
17. Example 1 describes the preparation of an
article by coating PVB on a substrate using a doctor blade
