          Appeal No. 95-2848                                                          
          Application 07/796,971                                                      


          to be considered is whether the teachings of Bantz overcome the             
          deficiencies present in the rejection of claims 1 and 8.                    
          Bantz was cited only for its teaching of using a video                      
          lookup table for acquiring anti-aliasing values to be used in               
          smoothing edge pixels.  The lookup table is recited only in the             
          dependent claims.  Bantz provides no teachings relevant to the              
          formation of first and second values related to the intensities             
          of different sets of pixels surrounding the pixel of interest.              
          Thus, we find nothing in Bantz which corrects the deficiencies in           
          the teachings of Kitamura and Kojima.  Therefore, we do not                 
          sustain the rejection of dependent claims 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 10, 13             
          and 14 as proposed by the examiner based upon the record before             
          us.                                                                         
          In summary, we have not sustained either of the                             
          rejections set forth by the examiner.  Accordingly, the decision            
          of the examiner rejecting claims 1-14 is reversed.                          
          REVERSED
