one line onto a scanning area” and “means for detecting an
image formed on a surface of said object.”
We find that Flodin discloses the limitation of
projecting an image onto the surface of an object.
Specifically, Flodin discloses a log sawing apparatus where
there are multiple sets of wires in the line of sight of the
operator. The wires provide a grid for an operator to use
when making decisions concerning the cutting of the log. See
Column 3, lines 21 though 35. Further, Flodin discloses that
“the grid pattern may be projected onto the log by various
light projection means.” See Column 5, lines
63 through 65. We find that projecting the grid on the log by
light projection means, requires the lines to be on the log.
