`Determination of Patent Term Adjustment under 35 U.S.C. 154 (b)
`
`(Applications filed 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 which is 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, PO. Box 1450, Alexandria, Virginia 22313-1450. DO NOT
`SEND FEES OR COMPLETED FORMS TO THIS ADDRESS. SEND TO: Commissioner for Patents, PO. Box
`1450, Alexandria, Virginia 22313-1450. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to
`respond to a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number.
`
`Privacy Act Statement
`
`The Privacy Act of 1974 (PL. 93-579) requires that you be given certain information in connection with your
`submission of the attached form related to a patent application or patent. Accordingly, pursuant
`to the
`requirements of the Act, please be advised that: (1) the general authority for the collection of this information is
`35 U.S.C. 2(b)(2); (2) furnishing of the information solicited is voluntary; and (3) the principal purpose for which
`the information is used by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is to process and/or examine your submission
`related to a patent application or patent. If you do not furnish the requested information, the U.S. Patent and
`Trademark Office may not be able to process and/or examine your submission, which may result in termination of
`proceedings or abandonment of the application or expiration of the patent.
`
`The information provided by you in this form will be subject to the following routine uses:
`1. The information on this form will be treated confidentially to the extent allowed under the Freedom of
`Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C 552a). Records from this system of records
`may be disclosed to the Department of Justice to determine whether disclosure of these records is required
`by the Freedom of Information Act.

`DETAILED ACTION
`
`Examiner’s Amendment
`
`1.
`
`An examiner’s amendment to the record appears below. Should the changes
`
`and/or additions be unacceptable to applicant, an amendment may be filed as provided
`
`by 37 CFR 1.312. To ensure consideration of such an amendment, it MUST be
`
`submitted no later than the payment of 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 amended as follows:
`
`Delete claims 1, 4, 10, 13, 45-51, & 54-60.
`
`Claim 44.
`
`(Currently amended) A multi-aperture imaging system comprising:
`
`a)
`
`a first camera subset that provides a first image, the first camera—subset having a
`
`first field of view (FOV1) and a first sensor with a first 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
`
`subset—having a second field of view (FOV2) such that FOV2 < FOV1 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)

`
`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 having a first field of view (FOV1) and a first sensor with a first
`
`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 subset—of the imaging
`
`system, the second camera—subset—having a second field of view (FOVz) such that
`
`FOV2 < FOV1 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)
`
`using a processor teegenetating to provide an output image from a point of view
`
`of eitheiC the first epthe—seeend camera subset based on a zoom factor (ZF) input that
`
`defines a respective field of view (FOVZF), the first image being a grimary image and the

`
`Claim 62.
`
`(New) The multi-aperture imaging system of claim 44, wherein, it
`
`FOV2 2 FOVZF, then the processor is further configured it) provide an output image from
`
`a point of View of the second camera.
`
`Claim 63.
`
`(New) The method of claim 53, further comprising, if FOV2 2
`
`FOVZF, using the processor to provide art output image from a point of View of
`
`the seeond 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 FOV that dictates which

`
`corresponding image is used as the primary image when the images are fused, in
`
`conjunction with other elements.
`
`Any comments considered necessary by applicant must be submitted no later
`
`than the payment of the issue fee and, to avoid processing delays, should preferably
`
`accompany the issue fee. Such submissions should be clearly labeled “Comments on
`
`Statement of Reasons for Allowance.”
