block 66 in Fig. 3) reads on the computer random access memory
for temporarily storing image data stored in the hard disk
taught by Maayan and Poulsen. We further see that Echerer
discloses storing enhancements in the bitmap in a separate
memory from the original bitmap to preserve the integrity of
the original bitmap (col. 5, lines 37-44) which can be
construed to be the "selected image data memory means for
two-dimensionally mapping and temporarily storing a part of
the image data stored in the temporary memory means and
enlarged, reduced or unchanged in scale" (corresponding to
block 72 in Fig. 3), even though the Examiner points to
Poulsen. As an aside, we point out to Appellants that this
limitation does not require enlarging and reducing as implied
by the arguments; the alternative language only requires one
of enlarging, reducing, and being unchanged in scale.
However, the Examiner fails to point out what structure
in Poulsen constitutes the "synthesized data memory means"
(corresponding to block 77 in Fig. 3) and the "window memory
means" (corresponding to block 79 in Fig. 3). Moreover, the
Examiner has not shown how Poulsen discloses the claimed
functional relationships among the blocks. We conclude that
