Sanders relates to assigning color values to picture
display locations. Col. 2, ll. 12-14. A central processing
unit (CPU) 16 stores a description of an image in a color
pattern memory 18. A pattern corresponding to a color from
the memory 18 is written into a frame buffer 20 at positions
designated by the CPU 16. Col. 3, ll. 55-61.
Each of the buffer’s memory locations was previously
assigned a color value and a weight. The patterns in the
memory 18 take into account these assignments to produce the
desired color from the output of the buffer 20. The output is
passed through a color decode and weighting circuit 22, which
produces the desired colors by decoding the bit patterns in
the buffer 20 according to their assigned color values. The
bits are also weighted and combined to produce an average
value so that a reduced image can be presented to a cathode
ray tube display 24. Col. 3, l. 62 - col. 4, l. 2.
The examiner’s rejection of claims 22-25 lacks meaningful
analysis. He fails to map the exact and complete language of
the claims to the disclosures of the references. In addition,
