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



                          We also note, without elaboration, agreement with                                       
             Appellants that Bassetti does not teach or suggest the                                               
             "inverting means for inverting....in accordance with an output                                       
             of said comparing means" as recited in claim 1.  Bassetti's                                          
             phase changes are based on a predetermined phase placement                                           
             pattern, not on any display data comparison (also involving a                                        
             line memory).  Even when Bassetti's phase placement pattern is                                       
             changed, it is changed in accordance with a calculation                                              
             (Bassetti at column 15 lines 34-48), and is predetermined.                                           
                          Claims 8 and 10 through 17                                                              
                          Appellants' second embodiment does not require a                                        
             line memory, and is more like Bassetti in that Appellants'                                           
             initial phase (e.g. first data/second data or second                                                 
             data/first data) of                                                                                  











                                                      -13-13
