positioned between the front and back panels having a cut-out
9 therein. Grover states that the elongated pocket 51 is
formed in the cut-out 9 between the front and back panels,
with the pocket being subdivided into discrete compartments
53. Grover forms these compartments by coating the inner
surfaces of the front and back panels 15 and 16 with a heat
sensitive adhesive 25, except in a plurality of area subparts
27 in the region of the pocket 51 (see col. 4, lines 27-34;
Figs. 1 and 2). These subparts 27 serve to subdivide the
pocket 51 into compartments 53 for the purpose of
accommodating the microfilm segments 54 (see col. 4, line 63,
through col. 5, line 33).
Microfilm segments 54 are initially placed in only some
of these compartments and sealed therein by lamination of the
front panel, back panel and core when the card components are
placed in a laminating machine for a first time, leaving the
remainder of the compartments both unsealed and empty (except
