          Appeal No. 95-4414                                                          
          Application 08/143,007                                                      


          device as argued by the examiner, then the reference image, which           
          is defined as the image before compression, is never fed to                 
          Bovik’s microprocessor for separate processing.  Regardless of              
          where one considers the processing to take place in Bovik, there            
          is no calculation of the claimed values for both a reference                
          image and a processed image.  Since all the claims on appeal                
          recite this form of parallel processing of two images, there is             
          no way that Bovik can reasonably suggest the invention as                   
          claimed.                                                                    
          The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1, 5 and 14                   
          is reversed.
