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


               With respect to claims 5 and 13, the Examiner asserts                  
          that Masumori teaches each row is addressed independently                   
          (answer-page 6).  Be that as it may, claim 5 recites the                    
          second row address is dependent upon receiving the first row                
          address.  With respect to claim 13, the adjacent rows are                   
          addressed in succession.  The Examiner has not shown these                  
          limitations to be taught in the applied references by stating               
          Masumori addresses each row independently.  Thus we will not                
          sustain the Examiner’s rejection as to these claims.                        
               With respect to claim 6, the Examiner does not address                 
          the requirement that adjacent lines are addressed by ignoring               
          the least significant bit (answer-page 9).  Thus we agree with              
          Appellants (brief-page 6) that this limitation is not shown by              
          the combination of references.  Accordingly we will not                     
          sustain the Examiner’s rejection of this claim.                             
               With regard to claims 10 and 16, the Examiner does not                 
          address the requirement of delivering a reset signal.  Thus we              
          agree with Appellants that this requirement is not met by the               
          combination of applied references (brief-pages 7 and 8).                    
          Accordingly we will not sustain the Examiner’s rejection of                 
          these claims.                                                               
                                          9
