Appeal No. 2003-1234
Application 09/755,519
BACKGROUND
The invention relates to a method of note taking in a
chemistry lecture in which the note taker uses a stamp containing
the structure of a benzene ring instead of drawing the ring.
Claim 1 is reproduced below.
1. In note taking by a student attendee at a lecture
in the field of chemistry during which there is frequent
mention of a benzene ring of known molecular-illustrated
structure and an inscribing of said molecular-illustrated
structure during said note taking at selected mentions of
said benzene ring, an improved method of making inscriptions
of said molecular-illustrated structure of said benzene ring
in conjunction with note taking commentary comprising the
steps of:
A. using on a support a paper substrate having a writing
surface in facing relation to a student lecture
attendee;
B. listening of said student lecture attendee to
commentary of a lecturer for mention of a benzene ring;
C. impressing in response to such mention with one hand by
said student lecture attendee using a stamp of a
transferred circular circumferentially spaced apart
arrangement of carbon atoms identified by the letter
"C" and in the spaces between the letters "C" having
bond lines indicating electron sharing which consists
of alternating double and single lines onto said paper
substrate writing surface; and
D. handwriting lecture commentary onto said paper
substrate writing surface with the other hand by said
student lecture attendee adjacent a said benzene ring
transferred molecular-illustrated structure;
whereby note taking is facilitated by the coordinated
use of the stamping and handwriting occupied hands of said
student lecture attendee.
