          Appeal No. 1999-2698                                                        
          Application 08/560,108                                                      


          the prestored images of Sutherland to modify Bajura to carry                
          out the claimed invention.                                                  
               Therefore, we find that Bajura and Sutherland are                      
          directed to disparate teachings which address different                     
          problems and we find no reason or suggestion in either prior                
          art reference to enable their combination in this obviousness               
          analysis.                                                                   
          Furthermore, there is no objective teaching in either Bajura                
          or Sutherland that would lead one of ordinary skill in this                 
          art to combine the references as proposed by the Examiner.                  
               Therefore, we will not sustain the rejection of claims 1               
          and 4-7, 9, 13, and 19-20 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being                    
          unpatentable over Bajura and Sutherland.                                    
               In addition, we will not sustain the following                         
          rejections:                                                                 
                    Claims 2-3, 8 and 21 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as                     
               being unpatentable over Bajura in view of Sutherland                   
               and Ritchey;                                                           
                    Claims 10-11, 15 and 17-18 under 35 U.S.C. § 103                  
               as being unpatentable over Bajura in view of                           
               Sutherland and Ruoff;                                                  
                                          18
