Appeal No. 1998-0882
Application 08/598,416
means for sampling is concurrently sampling a previously
transferred portion...” (Emphasis added.) The cited passage
of Matsumoto recites nothing about sampling or transferring,
not to mention concurrently.
Likewise, we find nothing regarding the claimed
“concurrently spatially transforming each said sampled
portion...” (emphasis added) in the cited column 10, lines 14-
25 of Matsumoto. This portion of Matsumoto relates to
generating addresses so that data can be either read from or
written to a memory.
The Examiner responds that sampling is implied by
the cited portion of Matsumoto, and that spatially
transforming is met by Matsumoto’s address generating scheme
when considering a conventional 90-degree rotation. (Answer-
page 4.)
We see no implied sampling. We do agree with the
Examiner that a 90-degree rotation would be a spatial
transformation, but we see no mention of such in the cited
portion of Matsumoto.
