This is a decision on the appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134
from the examiner’s rejection of claims 2-35, which constitute
all the claims remaining in the application.
The disclosed invention pertains to a cassette for use
with a recording and reproducing apparatus. More
particularly, the cassette contains at least one electrical
impedance in which the value of the impedance defines a
parameter of the cassette. The recording and reproducing
apparatus detects the value of the impedance in the cassette
and determines the cassette parameter therefrom.
Representative claim 35 is reproduced as follows:
35. An improvement in a system for recording and/or
reproducing information signals on/from a record carrier,
which system comprises an apparatus having a device for
recording and/or reproducing information signals on/from said
record carrier and a cassette adapted to be inserted into the
apparatus,
which cassette accommodates said record carrier and comprises
at least one indicator; which by means of one of its
parameters indicates at least one characteristic value of a
fixed element of said record carrier, the apparatus comprising
at least one detection device for the detection of the
parameter of the indicator, which parameter indicates the at
least one characteristic value, wherein the improvement
