         Appeal No. 2002-0652                                                        
         Application No. 08/465,072                                                  


         of generating undersampled image information and also adds steps            
         following the step of generating temporally interpolated image              
         information.  As we found no written description support for                
         claim 190, we also find no such support for claim 177.                      
         Consequently, the lack of written description rejection of claims           
         105, 177, 190, and 191 is sustained.  Claims 178-189, 192, 195,             
         206, 213, 216, 219, 229, 232, 235, 237-248, 251, 254, 265, 275,             
         278, 285, 288, 303, 304, 307, 310, 311, 314, 317, 320, 323, 324,            
         327, 330, 331, 334, 336 through 338, 341 through 346, 349, 351              
         through 353, 356 through 361, 364, 366 through 368, 371, 374                
         through 377, 379, 382, 384, 389, 390, and 393 through 395, the              
         "product claims," are dealt with below.  The lack of written                
         description rejection of the remainder of the claims on appeal is           
         sustained because appellant has not demonstrated how these claims           
         have such support in the disclosure.                                        


         Appellant's arguments as to the product claims 3                            
               The examiner finds no written description support for the             
         "making a product" limitations (Answer, pages 16-21).  An                   
         exemplary "making a product" limitation is claim 178:  "A process           


               3 As indicated supra, the product claims are claims 178-189, 192, 195,
         206, 213, 216, 219, 229, 232, 235, 237-248, 251, 254, 265, 275, 278, 285, 288,
         303, 304, 307, 310, 311, 314, 317, 320, 323, 324, 327, 330, 331, 334, 336   
         through 338, 341 through 346, 349, 351 through 353, 356 through 361, 364, 366
         through 368, 371, 374 through 377, 379, 382, 384, 389, 390, and 393 through 
         395.                                                                        
                                         22
