Appeal No. 98-1396
Application 08/300,666
the ROMs which are programmed to include a table for each algorithm to map actual input
pixel values to new pixel values according to the stored algorithm which is embodied in the
table. The use of the ROMs is disclosed to be faster since the values are precalculated
and stored for subsequent addressing. The system is also flexible due to the
interchangeability of the ROMs for new or different algorithms.
Accordingly, we will not sustain the Examiner's rejection of claims 7-10 under 35
U.S.C. § 112, paragraph one.
35 U.S.C. § 112, SECOND PARAGRAPH
Claims 2, 7-10, 14, 15 and 17 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second
paragraph. First, the rejection of claims 2, 7-10, 14, 15 and 17 is based upon
dependence from a canceled parent claim. The rejection is moot in view of the entry of the
after final amendment which corrected the erroneous dependencies. Second, the term
"selectible [sic] scaling algorithms" in claim 7 is originally introduced in the rejected
claim and therefore does not lack a proper antecedent basis as asserted by the
Examiner. Accordingly, we will not sustain the Examiner's rejection of claims 2,
7- 10, 14, 15 and 17 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph.
35 U.S.C. § 103
Claims 2, 7-10, 14, 15, 17, and 23-29 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
