USPN 6,459,806 (Expired on Feb 5, 2010)

IMPORTANT OBSERVATION:
CRU EXAMINER COMMENTED (See PAGE 2- 10) THAT THE "TOSHIBA DOCUMENTS" (Toshiba CF-400 Note Sorter and Mosler CF-401 Parts Manual) SUBMITTED FOR THIS RE-EXAMINATION ENABLED THE CLAIMED INVENTION OF '806 PATENT, HOWEVER, EXAMINER DECIDED THAT OUR EVIDENCE CONCERNING "TOSHIBA DOCUMENTS" WERE INSUFFICIENT TO ESTABLISH THE AVAILABILITY OF TOSHIBA DOCUMENTS AS A PRINTED PUBLICATION REQUIRED FOR PATENT RE-EXAMINATION. THEREFORE, "TOSHIBA DOCUMENTS" WERE NOT RELIED UPON DECIDING THE INVALIDITY OF '806 PATENT.
