          Appeal No. 96-0023                                                          
          Application 07/958,046                                                      


          decided July 15, 1998).                                                     
               Turning to the Examiner's rejection of claims 1 through 4              
          as being unpatentable over Hitchens, Thalimer, Nigawara and                 
          Knoop, we fail to find that the references teach or suggest                 
          selecting a stored history of underlying process attributes                 
          for a plurality of points in time during the operation of a                 
          process being                                                               




          controlled, selecting a portion of the graphical                            
          representation                                                              
          and a point in time for which the underlying process                        
          attributes for the history are displayed and displaying the                 
          underlying process attributes of the selected portion of the                
          graphical                                                                   
          representation for the selected point in time, substantially                
          simultaneous with the display of the graphical representation.              
          Furthermore, we fail to find any suggestion by these                        
          references to modify Hitchens to obtain Appellant's claimed                 
          invention.                                                                  
               As shown above, the Examiner has not shown that Hitchens               
                                         10
