Appeal 2007-1132
Application 10/036,999
INTRODUCTION
Claims 1, 5, and 7 are illustrative:
1. A method comprising:
(a) scanning an interrogating light across multiple sites on an array
package including an addressable array of multiple biopolymeric features of
different moieties, which scanned sites include multiple features of an array;
(b) detecting signals from respective scanned sites emitted in response
to the interrogating light; and
(c) decreasing power of the interrogating light for a first site on the
array package during the scanning wherein the first site is outside an area
occupied by the array.
5. A method comprising:
(a) scanning an interrogating light across multiple sites on an array
package including an addressable array of multiple biopolymeric features of
different moieties, which scanned sites include multiple features of the array;
(b) detecting signals from respective scanned sites emitted in response
to the interrogating light; and
(c) altering power of the interrogating light for a first site on the array
package during scanning;
wherein the first site is an array feature; and
wherein the interrogating light power is altered based on the signal
emitted from the first site, when the interrogating light initially illuminates
the first site.
7. A method comprising:
(a) prior to scanning an interrogating light across an array package,
calibrating an interrogating light power versus a control signal characteristic
