luminance signal YH are frequency interleaved relative to the’
vertical scanning frequency (column 11, lines 26 through 38).
The multiplexed signal from mixer 121 is then frequency converted
by frequency converter 122 before passing through low-pass filter
123. The mixer 124 mixes the frequency-modulated, low-band
luminous signal FM-YL from frequency converter 106 with the
frequency converted, carrier chrominance signal C and the’
carrier high-band luminance signal YH” from low-pass filter 123.
The mixer 124 produces a recording signal that has a frequency
spectrum distribution as illustrated in Figure 10(A).
Turning first to the 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) rejection, we are
mindful of the fact that anticipation is established only when a
single prior art reference discloses, expressly or under
principles of inherency, each and every element of a claimed
invention. See RCA Corp. v. Applied Digital Data Sys., Inc.,
730 F.2d 1440, 1444, 221 USPO 385, 388 (Fed. Cir.), cert.
dismissed, 468 U.S. 1228 (1984).
The 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) rejection of claims 3, 4, 6 and 28 is
reversed because Figures 4(A) and 10(A) of Ishikawa do not
illustrate frequency spectrums in which: a first portion of the
frequency spectrum is comprised of “just a region surrounding the
frequency of said chroma carrier that contains said chrominance
