          Appeal No. 2001-1352                                                        
          Application 08/802,828                                                      


          structures correlating to the block of pointing vectors which               
          comprise the claimed first and second address signals.  There is            
          no teaching here, and none anywhere else in the drawings and text           
          of Bissonnette, which correlates to the claimed first address               
          signal corresponding to a address where a dictation insert should           
          be placed in the data file comprising data compressed speech                
          signals.  There is also no second address signal as claimed                 
          corresponding to the beginning address of an available portion of           
          the addressable memory in the DRAM 22 for storing the dictation             
          insert itself.  We reach this conclusion because there is no                
          additional pertinent teaching or discussion of the editing                  
          functions generally noted with respect to Figures 4, 7, 8, 9 and            
          15-17 and the manner in which any editing or additional insert-             
          type information is stored within the memory 22 itself.                     
               The examiner has not convinced us that the data structures             
          associated with memory 22 in Bissonnette correlate to the claimed           
          pointing vectors comprising first address signals and second                
          address signals as claimed.  The examiner's additional comments             
          at pages 2, 8 and 9 of the answer relating to general                       
          understandings in the memory art relating to pointers are noted.
