                                  DECISION ON APPEAL                                  
               The examiner rejected claims 6, 7, and 9-11.  The                      
          appellant appeals therefrom under 35 U.S.C. § 134(a).  We                   
          reverse.                                                                    


                                     BACKGROUND                                       
               The invention at issue in this appeal relates to                       
          controlling magnetic storage devices.  Digital compression of               
          visual and audio signals enables such signals to be processed               
          by a computer and stored by the computer’s magnetic storage
