             Appeal No. 96-1855                                                                                   
             Application 07/953,807                                                                               



             means for comparing the input display data for a pertinent                                           
             line with the input display data for a preceding line stored                                         
             in said line memory...".                                                                             
                          The Examiner responds by citing Bassetti at column                                      
             14,  lines 39-43, "When raster scan type of displays are                                             
             considered, crosstalk between the pixels of a single row and                                         
             between sequentially energized lines, and further between                                            
             sequentially energized frames must be further considered."                                           
             This suggested progression of Bassetti, from pixels to lines,                                        
             and further from lines to frames, is proffered by the Examiner                                       
             as the motivation to expand Bassetti's pixel comparison (with                                        
             a pixel memory) to a line comparison (with a line memory).                                           
             However, in the further context of this quote, Bassetti is                                           
             contemplating a more elaborate phase placement pattern, to go                                        
             beyond a two dimensional analysis, to a conceptualized three                                         
             dimensional analysis of multiple frames along a time axis, as                                        
             depicted in Figure 7E.  This does not involve the storing of                                         
             any display data in memory, for subsequent comparison of                                             
             previous line display data to current line display data                                              
             (claimed as "display data for a pertinent line").                                                    

                                                      -11-11
