            Appeal No. 1999-0299                                                                              
            Application No. 08/353,413                                                                        


                                               BACKGROUND                                                     

                   The appellant's invention relates to a vertically configured video projection system.      
            The system orients the video projectors 90 degrees from the conventional projectors and           
            reorients the video signals to compensate for the rotation so that the projectors may be          
            mounted in a cabinet along a wall.  An understanding of the invention can be derived from         
            a reading of exemplary claim 1, which is reproduced below.                                        
                   1.    A video projection system comprising:                                                
                   a housing;                                                                                 
                   a video chassis in said housing;                                                           
                   three video projection CRTs in said housing;                                               
                   means on said video chassis for developing deflection signals for each of said             
            CRTs;                                                                                             
                   individual yokes mounted on the necks of said CRTs; and                                    
                   means supporting said housing with said CRTs vertically aligned, said yokes being          
            positioned on said necks such that an offset horizontal display is produced on a projection       
            surface positioned forwardly of said vertically aligned CRTs.                                     
                   The prior art reference of record relied upon by the examiner in rejecting the             
            appealed claims is:                                                                               
            Kline                            4,352,124                       Sep. 28, 1982                    





                                                     -2-
