Appeal No. 2000-0249 Page 7
Application No. 08/632,240
“After gaining access, user 1 instructs the transmission of a
selected ‘slice’ of data from the table server to the PC.”
Id. at ll. 28-30. “At the same time ... a user e.g., user 3,
of one of the other PC's associated with the network, e.g., PC
3, can select and use a different slice of data from the same
multidimensional array ....” Col. 7, ll. 3-7.
The reference’s slices of data, however, are not complete
copies of the multidimensional array. To the contrary, the
slices represent only parts of the multidimensional array.
Specifically, a user stores a slice “to use in a spreadsheet
some of the data stored in the multidimensional array ....”
Col. 6, ll. 24-25 (emphasis added). Furthermore, the slices
of data do not have the same number of dimensions as the
multidimensional
array. The array is four-dimensional. Specifically, “FIG. 2
illustrates the structure of a multidimensional array of data,
in this case an array having four dimensions ....” Col. 5,
ll. 17-19. In contrast, the slices are only two-dimensional.
