Appeal No. 2003-0266
Application No. 09/072,553
multiplexed inputs to the analog-digital converter 19, and Thurm
is silent as to using the converted digital calibration pattern
signal to correct the converted digital image data signal. The
outputs 20a, 20b and 20c from the computer control the
electromagnets 11, 13 and 15 and correspondingly the subtractive
filters 10, 12 and 14, respectively. In other words, the
feedback signals 20a, 20b and 20c from the computer control the
movement of the filters 10, 12 and 14 into and out of the path of
the copying light that exposes the area 8a of photographic paper
8 (Figures 1 and 2; column 10, lines 26 through 35).
In summary, the anticipation rejection of claims 1 through
13 and 18 through 20 is reversed because Thurm does not disclose
all of the steps recited in the claims on appeal, and neither
Inoue, Sachs nor Itoh cures the deficiencies in the teachings of
Thurm.
