Appeal No. 1999-0419
Application 08/383,483
there is no outstanding rejection before us as to these claims, there is no issue for us to
decide with respect to them even though appellants’ principal brief contains arguments
with respect to a rejection by the examiner of these claims before the final rejection.
Representative claim 1 is reproduced below:
1. A recording/reproducing system comprising:
a first unitary package designed for normally resting on a surface such as a
tabletop when photorecording is being done by said recording/reproducing system;
a magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus within said first unitary package for
storing signals descriptive or moving picture sequences on a magnetic tape, said
magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus including recording electronics for receiving
a recording input signal and playback electronics for supplying a reproducing output
signal;
a second unitary package which can be mechanically attached to and detached
from said first unitary package;
a first video camera within said second unitary package for generating a first
composite video signal;
means for selectively applying said first composite video signal as the recording
input signal to said recording electronics only during first times, said applying being
done by radiating electromagnetic energy from said first video camera to said first
unitary package at least during those of said first times that said secondary unitary
package is detached from said first unitary package rather than by cabling between said
first video camera and said first unitary package;
a radio receiver included in said first unitary package, said radio receiver being of
a type for supplying a second composite video signal in response to a received
television signal not originating from said first video camera; and
means, included in said first unitary package, for selectively applying said
second composite video signal as the recording input signal to said recording
electronics only during second times other than said first times.
