Appeal No. 96-0553
Application 08/020,993
Macro blocks. Although it is true as argued that the Bcont
represents the amount of the code remained in the code memory
74 of Figure 1, which relates to a memory store for a frame of
information to be transmitted out on terminal 89, the quanti-
ation is performed by using a predetermined step size with
respect to a first to an (n-1)th Macro block. The entire
transmission frame 87 is outputted through this code memory
portion 74. This represents the transmission frame of
information or the claimed preceding frame. The above noted
portions also indicate that the value of n is chosen to be 12.
Although the examiner appears to rely upon portions of
columns 19 and 20 as the primary basis for the examiner’s
statement of the rejection, this portion of the reference
relates to the second embodiment described in Figure 4. How-
ever, corresponding locations are present with respect to the
first embodiment in Figure 3 in earlier portions beginning at
column 14. It is further noted that each of the respective four
embodiments in corresponding Figures 3 through 6 essentially
repeat everything that has been previously recited with respect
to any earlier embodiment with variations in accordance with the
variations in the respective figures.
