              Application No. 09/106,994                                                                                   


                     A further understanding of the invention can be achieved by reading the following                     
              claims.                                                                                                      
                     1. An imager comprising:                                                                              
                            an array of pixel sensors, each pixel sensor to indicate at least two                          
                     different primary color components of an image;                                                       
                            for each pixel sensor, at least two storage locations located in the                           
                     array to store the indications from the pixel sensor and each storage                                 
                     location being designated for a different one of the primary color                                    
                     components of the image; and                                                                          
                            for each pixel sensor, circuitry to, during a first integration interval,                      
                     couple the pixel sensor to one of the associated storage locations to store                           
                     one of the indications from the sensor and, during a second integration                               
                     interval, couple the pixel sensor to another one of the storage locations to                          
                     store another one of the indications from the sensor.                                                 

                     22. An imager comprising:                                                                             
                            an array of pixel sensors; and                                                                 
                            at least two integration devices for each pixel sensor, each                                   
                     integration device being designated to provide a value for a different                                
                     primary color.                                                                                        

                     23. The imager of claim 22, wherein each of said at least two storage                                 
                     locations are associated with different color components.                                             

                     24. The imager of claim 22, wherein each of said at least two storage                                 
                     locations1 are associated with different primary color components.                                    

                     1The limitation “said at least two storage locations” in dependent claims 23 and                      
              24 appear to lack antecedent basis in claim 22, which recites no storage locations.
