"And why did 6 pass the muster?

The method of claim 6, unlike that of claim 5, requires “X-ray attenuation
data.” The specification indicates that such attenuation data is available only
when an X-ray beam is produced by a CAT scanner, passed through an object, and
detected upon its exit.

Ahh - the physical passes the muster. "

Right, but the machine is not mentioned in the claim.

In my weekly wage example, there is some mechanism by which the wage value is
received. Maybe its a check scanner and an OCR process, maybe its typed on a
keyboard, maybe its verbally entered via speech recognition. In any event, like
the X-ray attenuation data, my weekly wage data represents something physical, a
stack of cash money.

101: Good to go.
