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


          example, 30 (thirty) flames [sic, frames] are required for                  
          each second of video.”                                                      
               Cohen is directed to a “method and apparatus for                       
          transitioning between two sequences of images stored in a                   
          computer system” (column 5, lines 64 through 66; Figures 1, 4               
          and 8 through 10).  Cohen presents a first sequence of images               
          (e.g., A in Figure 1) at the normal NTSC time interval rate of              
          30 frames of still images per second, and during the                        
          transition period from the sequence of images A to the                      
          sequence of images B, Cohen can dynamically change the                      
          transition timing rate (column 10, lines 8 through 56; column               
          11, lines 32 through 37; column 12, lines 13 through 18;                    
          column 16, lines 45 through 49).  If the transition period                  
          lasts 3 seconds, for example, then 90 frames of still images                
          will be presented at a time interval rate that differs from                 
          the normal NTSC time interval rate of 30 frames per second                  
          (column 15, lines 7 through 10; column 26, lines 7 through                  
          24).                                                                        
          In summary, appellant’s argument that “Cohen discloses that                 
          changes are not made during the presentation” is equally                    
          without merit.                                                              
                                          6
