          Appeal No. 1997-1197                                                         
          Application 08/130,255                                                       

               This is a decision on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from                 
          the final rejection of claims 1-4 and 7-19, and 22-26.  Claims               
          5, 6, 27, and 28 stand objected to (Final Rejection, page 5).                
          The amendment after final rejection (Paper No. 7) presumably                 
          overcomes the rejection of claims 20 and 21 under 35 U.S.C.                  
          § 112, second paragraph, so claims 20 and 21 presumably also                 
          stand objected to (Final Rejection, page 5).                                 
               We affirm-in-part.                                                      
                                      BACKGROUND                                       
               The disclosed invention is directed to a method and                     
          apparatus for displaying and selectively rotating an image on                
          an image display unit.  An image is stored in memory in a                    
          certain sequence of bits, e.g., from a least significant bit                 
          (LSB) to a most significant bit (MSB) and from a low address                 
          to a high address as shown in figure 1.  The image may be read               
          out from memory in the same sequence to form a normal image on               
          the display as shown in figure 1, or may be read out in an                   
          inverse sequence to form an inverted display as shown in                     
          figure 5.                                                                    
               Claim 1 is reproduced below.                                            
                    1.  Apparatus for displaying a video image on at                   
               least one video display, said video image stored as pixel               
                                        - 2 -
