          Appeal No. 1996-3647                                                        
          Application No. 08/065,720                                                  


          objected to as being dependent upon a rejected base claim, but              
          would be allowable if rewritten in independent form including               
          all of the limitations of the base claim and any intervening                
          claims (Answer, page 13).  Accordingly, claims 1, 6, 7, 11                  
          through 13, 17, 19 and 20 remain before us on appeal.                       
               The disclosed invention relates to a system for                        
          dynamically controlling the display duration of still images                
          in a visual presentation.                                                   
               Claim 1 is illustrative of the claimed invention, and it               
          reads as follows:                                                           
               1.   A system for dynamically controlling a visual                     
                    presentation, said system comprising:                             
                    means for storing a multiplicity of still images;                 
                    means for defining a time interval for                            
                    displaying each of said still images in a                         
                    presentation;                                                     
                    means for directing sequential display of                         
                    said still images in said presentation                            
                    according to said time interval for each                          
                    image; and                                                        
                    means, responsive to user input during the                        
                    presentation, for dynamically changing the                        
                    time interval for displaying subsequent                           
                    still images in the presentation; and                             
                    wherein                                                           


                                          2
