          Appeal No. 97-3467                                                           
          Application 08/279,748                                                       

          skill and knowledge possessed by one with ordinary skill in the              
          art would have included the recognition that the specific region             
          focused on by the appellant in Figure 26 has a particular                    
          significance insofar as reduction of distortion is concerned.                
            For the foregoing reasons, we do not sustain the rejection of              
          claims 1-4 and 6-12 over Morimoto and Takemoto.                              
                                      Conclusion                                       
            The rejection of claims 1-4 and 6-12 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as              
          being unpatentable over Morimoto and Takemoto is reversed.                   


                                       REVERSED
