BACKGROUND
The appellants' invention relates to a computer-implemented means for
projecting the simulated image of contraband or other images on a baggage screening
monitor (specification, p. 2). A copy of the claims under appeal is set forth in the
appendix to the appellants' brief.
Claim 10 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph.
Claims 1 to 8 and 10 to 25 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being
anticipated by U.S. Patent No. 5,243,693 to Maron.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced by the examiner and
the appellants regarding the above-noted rejections, we make reference to the answer
(Paper No. 22, mailed November 6, 2001) for the examiner's complete reasoning in
support of the rejections, and to the brief (Paper No. 17, filed February 5, 2001) and
supplemental brief (Paper No. 21, filed July 19, 2001) for the appellants' arguments
thereagainst.
