          Appeal No. 95-0323                                                          
          Application 08/051,928                                                      


               initializing local variables for tracking the information              
          pool;                                                                       
               processing a current value from a first value of the set               
          of values;                                                                  

               calculating a difference between a next value of the set               
          of values and the current value;                                            
               comparing the difference to a current information pool                 
          entry difference associated with a current information pool                 
          entry;                                                                      
               incrementing a range increment of the current information              
          pool entry if the difference equals the current information                 
          pool entry difference;                                                      
               creating a new information pool entry if the difference                
          does not equal the current information pool entry difference;               
               storing the information pool; and                                      
               generating a frequency output using the information pool.              

          The examiner relies on no references.                                       
          Claims 1-10 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 101 as being                   
          directed to nonstatutory subject matter in the form of a                    
          mathematical algorithm.  Rejections of claims 11-14 under                   
          35 U.S.C. § 112 have become moot in view of the cancellation                
          of these claims.                                                            
          Rather than repeat the arguments of appellant or the                        
          examiner, we make reference to the briefs and the answers for               
                                          3
