          Appeal No. 1999-1587                                                       
          Application 08/601,751                                                     


          procedure, said neural network having been subjected to a                  
          training procedure for setting said weighting coefficients                 
          such that respective output data produced from said neural                 
          network in response to sequentially supplied input data                    
          substantially correspond to amounts of difference                          

          between actual output data which are produced from said                    
          conventional filter in response to said input data and ideal               
          data which are required to be obtained in response to said                 
          input data.                                                                
          The examiner relies on the following references:                           
          Kawai et al. (Kawai)          5,339,365          Aug. 16, 1994             
          Ikeuchi                       5,608,819          Mar. 04, 1997             
          (filed May 18, 1994)                                                       
          Claim 9 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as                        
          being anticipated by the disclosure of Ikeuchi.  Claims 6-8                
          stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable                 
          over the teachings of Ikeuchi in view of Kawai.                            
          Rather than repeat the arguments of appellant or the                       
          examiner, we make reference to the briefs and the answer for               
          the respective details thereof.                                            
          OPINION                                                                    
          We have carefully considered the subject matter on                         
          appeal, the rejections advanced by the examiner and the                    
          evidence of anticipation and obviousness relied upon by the                
          examiner as support for the rejections.  We have, likewise,                
                                         -3-
