              Appeal No. 1998-0189                                                                                          
              Application 08/196,933                                                                                        



              emulsion layer.   Tachibana, column 10, line 61, through column 11, line 10; and column                       
              13, line 53, through column 14, line 10.                                                                      
                     3.  Takeda’s light sensitive layer comprises silver halide, a reducing agent, a                        
              polymerizable compound, a base precursor, and a catalyst for decomposing the base                             
              precursor to a base.  Column 18, lines 8-35; and column 44, lines 25-31.  In the heat                         
              development process of the light sensitive layer, the catalyst accelerates the formation                      
              of base, and the polymerization reaction proceeds rapidly and smoothly in the presence                        
              of the formed base.   Column 18, lines 59-65.  The reducing agent has the function of                         
              reducing the silver halide and/or the function of accelerating or “restraining”                               
              polymerization of the polymerizable compound.  The agent includes, among a list of 20                         
              compounds,  4,5-dihydroxy-6-aminopyrimidines.   Column 28, lines 42-65.                                       
                     4.  Satomura describes a recording material that comprises a support having                            
              thereon a recording layer.  The recording layer comprises an electron-donating                                
              colorless dye, and at least one electron-accepting compound.  The electron-donating                           
              colorless dye is a copolymer of at least one polymerizable colorless dye monomer and                          
              at least one comonomer.  Column 2, lines 9-15.  The polymerizable colorless dye                               
              monomer can include a pyrimidine compound attached to a polymerizable monomer.                                
              Column 3, lines 45-48; and column 4, lines 1-21, and 25.  The two components react                            
              with each to form a color.                                                                                    


                                                             6
