          Appeal No. 95-0394                                                          
          Application No. 08/065,786                                                  


          from the examiner’s final rejection of claims 10-17.  Claims                
          1-9 were indicated by the examiner as being allowed.                        
          The disclosed invention pertains to a method and                            
          apparatus for generating a wipe solid.  A wipe solid is used                
          for creating transitions between two video signals.  The                    
          invention of independent claim 10 is directed to the method                 
          for loading data into memories having a specific relationship               
          to the data and reading the data from these memories along                  
          with a video signal to generate a wipe solid signal.                        
          Independent claim 10 on appeal is reproduced as                             
          follows:                                                                    
               10. A method of generating a wipe solid, comprising:                   
                         (a) calculating numerical values,                            
                         (b) loading numerical values into a first memory             
                         having one memory location for each pixel                    
                         during the active interval of a line of a                    
                         video signal,                                                
                         (c) loading numerical values into a second                   
          memory                     having one memory location for each              
          active                     line during a field of a video                   
          signal,                                                                     
                         (d) reading numerical values from the first and              
          second memories synchronously with a video                                  
          signal, and                                                                 
                         (e) carrying out a combinational arithmetic                  
                                          2
