Appeal No. 2006-1049
Application No. 09/667,826
84. The record supports the Examiner's findings with respect to what
limitations do not appear in reissue application claims 40-50 and 52-58 which were
present in claims 2, 24, 33, and 37 of the original application, as allowed.
(2)
35 U.S.C. § 112, First Paragraph
85. The Examiner rejected reissue application claims 40-50 and 52-58 as
being unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, as containing subject
matter which was not described in the specification in such a way as to reasonably
convey to one skilled in the relevant art that the inventor(s), at the time the
application was filed, had possession of the claimed invention.
86. The Examiner reasoned as follows (see Final Office Action entered
January 17, 2002, page 4):
The specification does not describe an infrared imaging system
or an infrared focal plane array in which the circuit elements of the
correction circuit in the means for separately correcting offsets in the
detection signals are not parallel connected.
