Specifically, “this slice of data is illustrated in FIGS. 7
and 8 as a two-dimensional slice ....” Col. 6, ll. 30-31.
Because Perez stores only two-dimensional parts of its
four-dimensional array at several locations in a computer
network, we are not persuaded that teachings from the applied
prior art would have suggested the limitations of “a
distributed N-dimensional database.” Therefore, we reverse
the rejection of claims 1 and 13. We also reverse the
rejection of claims 2-12 and 14-22, which respectively depend
from claims 1 and 13.
