VISIBLE IMAGING USING RADIATION ONLY OTHER THAN HEATING BYSURFACE CONTACT OR CONVECTION:
(under the class definition) Processes using only radiation to produce a visual image by either forming the same or rendering a latent image visible (developing).
(1) Note. The term "heat" in a claim without further limitation will not place a patent in this subclass, but rather in subclass 348 below.
