              Appeal No. 1998-1331                                                                                     
              Application No. 08/357,626                                                                               

                     to features of said image in response to said correction data received from said                  
                     display processor.                                                                                
                     The examiner relies on the following references:                                                  
              Mussler et al. (Mussler)           4,710,758                   Dec.  1, 1987                             
              Rysavy et al. (Rysavy)             4,929,935                   May 29, 1990                              

                     Claims 1-8 and 11-18 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable                   
              over Rysavy in view of Mussler.                                                                          
                     We refer to the Final Rejection (Paper No. 8) and the Examiner's Answer (Paper                    
              No. 15) for a statement of the examiner's position and to the Brief (Paper No. 14) and the               
              Reply Brief (Paper No. 16) for appellants’ position with respect to the claims which stand               
              rejected.                                                                                                


                                                      OPINION                                                          
                     The examiner’s statement of the rejection is set forth on pages 4 to 7 of the Answer.             
              The references of Rysavy and Mussler are provided as evidence of obviousness of the                      
              claimed subject matter.  “Mussler is provided to also teach automatic calibration.”                      
              (Answer, page 5.)                                                                                        
                     Appellants argue (Brief, pages 6-7) that the references fail to show or suggest the               
              invention including the limitations set forth in the language of claim 1: “means for                     
              communicating correction data to said touch processor indicative of said different position              


                                                          -3-
