the sensed brightness since clamp and sample-and-hold pulses
(col. 15, lines 3-15) are neither a part of the image capturing
and storing of the charges nor in any way described as affected
by the sensed brightness.
We note that independent claims 13 and 14 also require that
a clock signal dependent on the brightness information be applied
to the image sensor. As discussed above, Suzuki does not apply a
clock pulse to the one-dimensional image sensor that is
determined according to the brightness sensed and therefore,
cannot anticipate any of independent claims 1, 13, and 14, nor
claims 2, 3, 5, 6 dependent therefrom.
