          Appeal No. 1997-1197                                                         
          Application 08/130,255                                                       

          figure 6, which holds 200 words, and is considered to                        
          correspond to memory storing a frame of pixel data.  Claim 16                
          does not preclude the frame of pixel data from being read out                
          a block at a time where the blocks correspond to the size of                 
          the RAMs.                                                                    
               For the reasons stated above, the rejection of claim 16                 
          is sustained.  Claim 17 is not separately argued and,                        
          therefore, falls with claim 16.  The rejection of claim 17 is                
          sustained.                                                                   

               Claims 1 and 2                                                          
               Appellants argue that there is no reading out of image                  
          data from the memory in different sequences (Br14).  We                      
          disagree for the reasons discussed in connection with                        
          claim 16, where the claimed memory corresponds to the page                   
          memory in Kajihara, not the buffer memory 15.                                
               Appellants argue that "claim 1 requires that the image                  
          data be scanned on a video display in the same prescribed                    
          sequence that the image data is read out of memory" (Br13-14).               
          The Examiner does not address this argument.                                 
               We find that Kajihara does not scan the image data in the               
          same prescribed sequence that the image data is read out of                  
                                        - 11 -
