Appeal 2007-0058
Application 10/713,600
3. In Appellant’s Reply Brief, in Examiner’s Answer to
the Reply Brief, and in Appellant’s Supplemental Reply
Brief the issue is joined on whether Wood does, or does
not disclose the claimed “ultrasound system repair,
maintenance or quality improvement diagnostic
information…from a plurality of ultrasound systems”
residing on his Centralized Server #234.
4. The text in question, column 12, line 66 ff, reads as
follows:
An advantage of the local network is that all systems
on the network can utilize the local server to store
ultrasound images and patient reports, making them
accessible to remotely located diagnosing physicians
even when the ultrasound systems are not in
operation. When all of the network's ultrasound
systems use the HDI Server 234 for storage of their
diagnostic results, all of this information will be
accessible over the Internet even when the
ultrasound systems are disconnected for use
elsewhere or turned off at the end of a day. A remote
user terminal can connect to the HTTP server 30 of
the HDI Server 234 and, at the homepage of FIG.
11, click on the HDI Server graphic 234 to take the
remote user to the patient directory Web page shown
in FIG. 13. This patient directory page lists the
names of all patients. with reports or images stored
on the local network HDI Server 234, and the
identity of the ultrasound system on which the
patient was examined. The remote terminal user can
click on a patient's name to access the reports and
ultrasound images from that patient's exams, or
delete the patient's records from the HDI Server 234
after they have been reviewed by the physician or
archived. (emphasis added)
