21RETRIEVING IMAGE MADE USING RADIATION IMAGERY


DEFINITION

Classification: 430/21

RETRIEVING IMAGE MADE USING RADIATION IMAGERY:

(under the class definition) Processes wherein a specified process step of retrieving an image, such as by optically projecting the image upon a screen, from an image carrying chemically identified receiver or from an image formed by a chemical reaction. Included procedures for retrieving the image are optical, magnetic, or electrical in nature. Merely viewing the image with the eye is not considered a specified process for the subclass.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

1+, for holos:graphic process combined with retrieving the hologram.

5, for image carrying optical mask capable of optically reproducing the image upon a radiation-sensitive product.

20, for the retrieval of image in liquid crystal material.

31, 97, 139, and other process subclasses wherein a latent or visible image is finished or perfected by producing an invisible or visible image and for disclosed but not specified (unclaimed) image retrieval process.

250, Radiant Energy, appropriate subclasses for nonchemical devices and process of this type; 271, for device and process used for nonchemical detection of invisible radiation or conversion to electrical signal of information in symbolic or nonphotos:graphic form; subclasses 336+ for device or process wherein nonchemical invisible radiant energy imaging of a medium produces an electrical potential difference or a current flow; subclasses 199+ and 458+ for device or process wherein a nonchemical image is retrieved or detected using light-wave communication such as with a photocell; and subclasses 472+ for device or process wherein nonchemical invisible radiant energy imaging of a medium produces a nonelectrical response.

352, Optics: Motion Pictures,

1+, for nonchemical sound recording or reproduction combined with motion pictures.

353, Optics: Image Projectors,

25+, for process and system involving selective retrieval of information; and subclass 121 for methods of optically

retrieving information by projection wherein the information is in the form of a nonchemical image.

355, Photocopying,

5, for electric photocopying apparatus combined with means to project reproduced image onto a screen or display means for viewing.

359, Optics: Systems (Including Communication) and Elements,

290+, for optical retrieval of nonchemical image wherein a means is used to change the optical properties of the medium during retrieval.

360, Dynamic Magnetic Information Storage or Retrieval, for nonchemical magnetic dynamic information storage and retrieval process and system, especially

1+, for process and device used to store or retrieve the image wherein the device has an additional utility than as a magnetic record carrier such as a photos:graphic image medium; and subclasses 131+ for specific structure of magnetic record card other than mere magnetic coatings on a substrate. 365, Static Information Storage and Retrieval, for nonchemical magnetic, electrical, or optical static information storage and retrieval process or system, especially

185.01+, for floating gate memory storage (e.g., flash memory), subclasses 185.01+ for floating gate memory storage (e.g., flash memory), subclasses 106+ and 120+ wherein radiant energy and information masking are utilized.
