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

          respect to the rejection of claim 1.  Accordingly, the                       
          rejection of claims 3 and 4 is reversed.                                     
               Okazawa is cited against claims 7 and 8 to show a                       
          sequence of repeating sub-sequences of pixel data.  Okazawa                  
          does not cure the deficiency of Kajihara with respect to the                 
          rejection of claim 1.  Accordingly, the rejection of claims 7                
          and 8 is reversed.                                                           

               Claims 13, 14, 18, and 19                                               
               Claims 13 and 14 recite that the read sequence comprises                
          a three bit (claim 13) or six bit (claim 14) read bit sequence               
          for a three bit per pixel (claim 13) or six bit per pixel                    
          (claim 14) color display.  Claim 18 recites that the first                   
          sequence comprises a sequence of repeating sub-sequences, and                
          claim 19, which depends on claim 18, recites that the second                 
          sequence is an inverse ordering of the sequence of repeating                 
          sub-sequences.                                                               
               The Examiner finds that Okazawa discloses a sequence of                 
          repeating 3 3 sub-sequences of pixel data being used to rotate               
          an image on a video display and concludes that it would have                 
          been obvious to incorporate the repeating sub-sequences of                   
          pixel data teachings of Okazawa into Kajihara "to provide an                 
                                        - 18 -
