          Appeal No. 95-4730                                                          
          Application No. 08/061,495                                                  

          in Tyburski to then combine the time ordered system of                      
          Fujisaki with the static information system of Holt in any                  
          manner.  We find no suggestion to do so.  Tyburski does not                 
          disclose a combination of  “complementary recognition                       
          algorithms,” if the examiner means by this that there are                   
          disclosed in Tyburski both time ordered and static information              
          relative to character recognition.  Tyburski discloses only                 
          static information.  Therefore, there is no teaching or                     
          suggestion by Tyburski that “complementary recognition                      
          algorithms can achieve improved accuracy results,” as                       
          contended by the examiner.                                                  
               Further, each of the instant independent claims requires               
          the static stroke information to be derived from the time                   
          ordered stroke information.  As depicted in instant Figure 1a,              
          for example, the feature vector representing the time ordered               
          stroke information is input to box 16.  Simultaneously                      
          therewith, the time ordered stroke information is input to                  
          replicator 18 and into converter 20 wherein the time ordered                
          stroke information is converted to static stroke information.               
          The time ordered stroke information and the static stroke                   
          information are then processed in parallel to arrive at two
