Appeal No. 1999-2688
Application No. 08/751,057
Appellant contends that whereas, in the instant
invention, "frequency" means how often the corresponding IQ
values occur during the predetermined time under each address,
in Gray, "frequency" is the frequency of a scan signal line
which can be calculated and displayed, as shown in Figures 3
or 4 of the patent [see page 6 of the brief]. Thus, it is
appellant’s contention that Gray and the instant claimed
invention are not directed to the same "frequency."
While we cannot say, with certainty, that the frequency
discussed by Gray and that recited in the instant claims are,
indeed, the same, Gray does disclose, at lines 63-64 of column
6, that "data frequency can control pixel color." It appears
to us, from the disclosure at page 2 of the instant
specification, that appellant’s invention also relates
frequency of data to pixel color. In view of these
disclosures and appellant’s failure to point to anything
specific in Gray to convince us that Gray’s frequency is
anything different than the frequency discussed, we do not
find appellant’s observation regarding Gray’s "frequency of a
scan signal line" [brief-page 6] convincing.
