          representing information contained in the first information-                
          bearing component;                                                          
               receiving a signal having information that forms a                     
          correspondence between each of the representative frames and a

          Claims 1-24 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  As                       
          evidence of obviousness the examiner offers Takahashi in view               
          of Buhro and Cragun.  Claim 25 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C.              
          § 102(e) as being anticipated by the disclosure of Cragun.
