use the claimed invention.
The detailed description of the invention begins at the
bottom of page 13 of the specification as filed. The
description of Figure 3 is taken in the context of each of
cells C1 and C2 being defined with side lengths of N pixels
where N is a number divisible by two; see the bottom of page
14. The discussion at page 15 is in the context of comparing
the actual versus the total possible gray levels of the multi-
bit pixel depth primary cell C. This sets forth the
environment of dependent claim 5, a more particular recitation
of the comparing step of independent claim 4. The artisan, in
reading the description at pages 15 and 16 of the
specification as filed, clearly would have understood without
any measure of undue experimentation necessary to make and use
the claimed invention, the subject matter of independent claim
5. The formula recited in this claim is explained in detail
in the portion of the specification at pages 15 and 16. The
discussion at the bottom of page 16 gives an example of the
numerical determinations of the compare operations which
eventually would yield the value V to be assigned to the gray
level to be depicted in a subsequent single-bit (as opposed to
