`Determination of Patent Term Adjustment under 35 U.S.C. 154 (b)
`(Applicationsfiled on or after May 29, 2000)
`
`The Office has discontinued providing a Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) calculation with the Notice of Allowance.
`
`to eliminate the
`Section 1(h)(2) of the AIA Technical Corrections Act amended 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(3)(B)(i)
`requirement that the Office provide a patent term adjustment determination with the notice of allowance. See
`Revisions to Patent Term Adjustment, 78 Fed. Reg. 19416, 19417 (Apr. 1, 2013). Therefore, the Office is no longer
`providing an initial patent term adjustment determination with the notice of allowance. The Office will continue to
`provide a patent term adjustment determination with the Issue Notification Letter that is mailed to applicant
`approximately three weeks prior to the issue date of the patent, and will include the patent term adjustment on the
`patent. Any request for reconsideration of the patent term adjustment determination (or reinstatement of patent term
`adjustment) should follow the process outlined in 37 CFR 1.705.
`
`Any questions regarding the Patent Term Extension or Adjustment determination should be directed to the Office of
`Patent Legal Administration at (571)-272-7702. Questions relating to issue and publication fee payments should be
`directed to the Customer Service Center of the Office of Patent Publication at 1-(888)-786-0101 or (571)-272-4200.

`OMB Clearance and PRA Burden Statement for PTOL-85 Part B
`
`The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 requires Federal agencies to obtain Office of Management and
`Budget approval before requesting most types of information from the public. When OMB approves an agency
`request to collect information from the public, OMB (i) provides a valid OMB Control Number and expiration
`date for the agency to display on the instrument that will be used to collect the information and (ii) requires the
`agency to inform the public about the OMB Control Number’s legal significance in accordance with 5 CFR
`1320.5(b).
`
`The information collected by PTOL-85 Part B is required by 37 CFR 1.311. The information is required to obtain
`or retain a benefit by the public whichis to file (and by the USPTO to process) an application. Confidentiality is
`governed by 35 U.S.C. 122 and 37 CFR 1.14. This collection is estimated to take 12 minutes to complete,
`including gathering, preparing, and submitting the completed application form to the USPTO. Time will vary
`depending upon the individual case. Any comments on the amount of time you require to complete this form
`and/or suggestions for reducing this burden, should be sent to the Chief Information Officer, U.S. Patent and
`Trademark Office, U.S. Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 1450, Alexandria, Virginia 22313-1450. DO NOT
`SEND FEES OR COMPLETED FORMS TO THIS ADDRESS. SEND TO: Commissioner for Patents, P.O. Box
`1450, Alexandria, Virginia 22313-1450. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to
`respondto a collection of information unlessit displays a valid OMB control number.

`DETAILED ACTION
`
`Examiner’s Amendment
`
`1.
`
`An examiner’s amendmentto the record appears below. Should the changes
`
`and/or additions be unacceptable to applicant, an amendment maybefiled as provided
`
`by 37 CFR 1.312. To ensure consideration of such an amendment, it MUST be
`
`submitted no later than the paymentof the issue fee.
`
`Authorization for this examiner's amendment was given in an interview with
`
`Menachem Nathan on 11/10/2016.
`
`The application has been amendedasfollows:
`
`Delete claims 1, 4, 10, 13, 45-51, & 54-60.
`
`Claim 44.
`
`(Currently amended) A multi-aperture imaging system comprising:
`
`a)
`
` afirst camera subset that providesa first image, the first camera-subset having a
`
`first field of view (FOV,) andafirst sensor withafirst plurality of sensor pixels covered
`
`at least in part with a standard color filter array (CFA);
`
`b)
`
`a second camera subset that provides a second image, the second camera
`
`subsethaving a secondfield of view (FOV2) such that FOV2 < FOV, and a second

`
`sensor with a second plurality of sensor pixels, the second plurality of sensor pixels
`
`being either Clear or covered with a standard CFA, the second image having an overlap
`
`area with the first image; and
`
`C)
`
`4 processor configured ta pravice an outpul image fram a paint of view af either
`
`the first orthe-secend camera subset based on a zoom factor (2F} input that defines a
`respective field of view (FOVor), the firsl imace heing a primary imane and the second
`image being a non-primary image, wherein if FOV. < FOVo,< FOV, then the point of
`view of the outout imace is that of the first camera, the orocessor further conficured to
`
`register the overiap area of ihe second image as non-primary imace to the first imaqce
`
`as primary inane to obtain the outout imade.
`
`Claim 53.
`
`(Currently amended) A method of acquiring images by a multi-
`
`aperture imaging system, the method comprising:
`
`a)
`
`providing a first image generated by a first camera subset of the imaging system,
`
`the first camera subset havingafirst field of view (FOV;) and a first sensor withafirst
`
`plurality of sensor pixels covered at least in part with a standard color filter array (CFA);
`
`b)
`
`providing a second image generated by a second camera subsetof the imaging
`
`system, the second camera-suesethaving a secondfield of view (FOVz2) suchthat
`
`FOV>2 < FOV, and a second sensor with a secondplurality of sensor pixels, the second
`
`plurality of sensor pixels being either Clear or covered with a standard CFA, the second
`
`image having an overlap area with the first image; and
`
`C)
`
`using a processor fergenerating to provide an output image from a point of view
`
`
`
`of either the firste-thesecend camera subset based on a zoom factor (ZF) input that
`
`defines a respective field of view (FOVzr), the first image being a primary image and the
`
`second imeae being a non-primary imace, wherein F FOVe < FOV. < FOV, then the
`
`ointaf view of the outout imace is that of the first camera: and

`
`the orocessor to register the overian area of the second imaqe as non-
`using
`c
`
`
`
`
`primary imaqce to the first image as ormary image to obtain the cutout image.
`
`Claim 62.
`
`(New) The multi-aperture imaging system of claim 44, wherein, if
`
`FOV>2 2 FOVzr, then the processor is further configured to provide an output image from
`
`& point of view of the second camera,
`
`Claim 63.|(New) The method of claim 53, further comprising, if FOV2 2
`
`FOVzr, using the processor to provide an output image from a point of view of
`
`the secand camera.
`
`Allowable Subject Matter
`
`2. Claims 44, 53, 62 & 63 are allowed.
`
`3. The following is an examiner’s statement of reasons for allowance: The prior art
`
`teaches switching the point of view from different cameras or sensors based on an
`
`adjusted zoom level and also fusing images. It does not explicitly teach or suggest a
`
`relationship of the zoom factor to a first and second FOVthat dictates which
