Appeal No. 96-2748
Application 08/008,813
18 to 23, the examiner having allowed claims 4, 9, 15, 17,
and 24-31.2
Representative claim 1 is reproduced below:
1. A recording system for recording a luminance signal
having a high frequency portion and a low frequency portion on
a recording medium, said recording system comprising:
means for generating a control signal representative
of an amplitude level of said high-frequency portion of said
luminance signal;
means for reducing the amplitude level of said high-
frequency portion of said luminance signal relative to said
low frequency portion in response to said control signal,
thereby generating a reduced-highs luminance signal; and
means for generating a combined signal by combining
said reduced-highs luminance signal with said control signal,
and recording said combined signal on said recording medium.
The following references are relied on by the examiner:
Sassler 4,318,126 Mar. 2, 1982
Strolle et al. (Strolle) 5,113,262 May 12, 1992
Claims 1 to 3, 5 to 8, 10 to 14, 16, and 18 to 23 stand
rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103. As evidence of obviousness,
the examiner relies upon Strolle in view of Sassler.
The Notice of Appeal filed on March 29, 1995 does not list claim 162
among those claims appealed. Since the substance of the final rejection
included claim 16 among those claims finally rejected, we consider this
omission an inadvertent error.
