          Appeal No. 1998-0662                                                        
          Application No. 08/561,223                                                  


          line is provided to picture elements on the first and second                
          (i.e., adjacent) rows, and that the next gate shift clock                   
          gates lines 3 and 4 simultaneously and the same line is                     
          provided to picture elements on the third and fourth (i.e.,                 
          adjacent) rows.  Additionally we note column 7, lines 23-36,                
          for a similar teaching.                                                     
               With respect to the claims reciting that the SM’s are                  
          mirror devices, Appellants make no specific argument as to the              
          applicability of Stoltz for this teaching, and rely upon                    
          previous arguments to support these claims (brief-pages 8 and               
          9).                                                                         
               In view of the forgoing, we will sustain the Examiner’s                
          rejection of claims 1, 8, 11 and 17 (all independent claims),               
          all of Appellants’ arguments pertaining thereto having been                 
          considered supra.                                                           
               With respect to claims 4 and 20, Appellants argue that                 
          the references do not teach the two adjacent lines receiving                
          the same data (brief-pages 5 and 10).  We have addressed this               
          point supra and will sustain the Examiner’s rejection of these              
          claims.                                                                     


                                          6
