          Appeal No. 97/2300                                                          
          Application No. 08/282,671                                                  


          (Figure 7).  The switching control 70 never selectively                     
          enables any of the detector elements in the array 14.                       
               In summary, the 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) rejection of claims 1               
          and 2 is reversed because "Ribner et al . . . does not have .               
          . . 'row enable lines' that can 'selectively enable detector                
          elements in one or more rows' as required by claim 1" (Brief,               
          page 12).                                                                   












                                      DECISION                                        
               The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1 and 2                  
          under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) is reversed.                                       


                                      REVERSED
