          Appeal No. 1998-2572                                                        
          Application 08/342,671                                                      


          teachings of Urbanus and Wakeland.                                          
          For all the reasons discussed above, we do not sustain                      
          the examiner’s rejection of independent claim 1 based on                    
          Urbanus and Wakeland.  Since claims 2-11 depend from claim 1,               
          we also do not sustain the examiner’s rejection of these                    
          claims.                                                                     
          We now consider the rejection of claim 1 based on the                       
          teachings of Urbanus and Ishii.  The examiner’s reliance on                 
          Urbanus has been discussed above, and the examiner cites Ishii              
          for essentially the same reasons discussed above with respect               
          to Wakeland.  Appellants argue that Ishii suffers the exact                 
          same deficiencies which were discussed above with respect to                
          the rejection based on Wakeland.                                            
          We agree with the position argued by appellants.                            
          Ishii, like Wakeland, is concerned with the processing of two               
          different images to be superimposed within the same frame of                
          data, and not with the simultaneous processing of an image                  
          from two different frames of data.  Therefore, we do not                    
          sustain this rejection of claim 1 for the same reasons                      
          discussed above with respect to the rejection based on Urbanus              
          and Wakeland.                                                               
                                          9
