all other symbols are shifted to the right." Col. 3, ll. 36-
40.
Because Ben-Efraim teaches writing data to and reading
data from a shift register segment during the same select line
activations, we are not persuaded that the reference discloses
the limitations that "data is both written to and read from
the memory during consecutive select line activations ...."
Therefore, we reverse the rejection of claim 6 as anticipated
by Ben-Efraim.
Regarding claim 7, the appellants argue, "Ben-Efraim does
not disclose 'data is both written to and read from memory
during all select line activations ... for each repeated delay
portion,' ...." (Appeal Br. at 6.) Claim 7 specifies in
pertinent part the following limitations: "data is both
written to and read from memory during all select line
activations ... for each repeated delay portion." Giving the
claim its broadest reasonable interpretation, the limitations
recite writing data to and reading data from the memory during
the same select line activation.
