          Appeal No. 1998-0882                                                        
          Application 08/598,416                                                      


                    c)   means, within said single image processor, for               
          concurrently spatially transforming each said sampled portion               
          of said image pixel data in sequence while said means for                   
          sampling is sampling a subsequent portion of image pixel data;              
          and                                                                         
                    d)   second means, within said single image                       
          processor, for transferring each said spatially transformed                 
          portion of said image pixel data to a pixel display memory for              
          display.                                                                    
                    The Examiner relies on the following reference:                   
          Matsumoto                5,404,445                Apr. 4, 1995              
                                        (filed Oct. 31, 1991)                         
                    Claims 1, 4 through 7 and 10 through 12 stand                     
          rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over                
          Matsumoto.                                                                  
                    Rather than reiterate the arguments of Appellants                 
          and the Examiner, reference is made to the brief and answer                 
          for the respective details thereof.                                         
                                       OPINION                                        
                    After a careful review of the evidence before us, we              
          will not sustain the rejection of claims 1, 4 through 7 and 10              
          through 12 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                                           
                    The Examiner has failed to set forth a prima facie                
          case.  It is the burden of the Examiner to establish why one
