          Application No. 08/673,693                                                  


          resolution portion, “the linear scanning velocity is                        
          correspondingly lower.”  Id. at ll. 6-9.  “Conversely, the                  
          low-resolution region ... has a                                             
          correspondingly higher linear scanning velocity ....”  Id. at               
          ll. 11-14.  Furthermore, Figure 3 of the reference “is an                   
          illustration of the data encoding scheme for a single field of              
          data,” col. 2, ll. 46-47, which includes time intervals T  and              
                                                                   2

          Importantly, Figure 3 shows the high resolution time interval               
          T  as smaller than the low resolution time interval T .2                                              3                        


               For its part, Bouve fails to cure the defect of Ruoff.                 
          The paragraph of Bouve cited by the examiner mentions that “to              
          utilize the above-described multi-media presentation, the                   
          system of the invention must provide sufficient bandwidth,                  
          processing speed, and display resolution, and the remote port               
          must display the multi-media transmissions with sufficient
