window of samples which includes a selected number both before
and after the detected abnormal value. Meyer teaches (column
3, lines 52-54) using a set of five adjacent tracks. Although

abnormal value, the indication to use five adjacent tracks
would have suggested to the skilled artisan to check the
tracks both before and after the abnormal value. Therefore,
we will reverse the rejection of claims 22, 12 and the claims
grouped with claim 12, claims 15 and 16.
