          Appeal No. 1999-2315                                                        
          Application No. 08/742,432                                                  


               The examiner rejects each of independent claims 1, 11 and              
          13 based on the teachings of Shinohara and Kajiwara.  With                  
          respect to claim 1, the examiner finds that Shinohara teaches               
          the claimed invention except for the steps which relate to a                
          one-dimensional strip.  The examiner cites Kajiwara as                      
          teaching the conversion of a two-dimensional window of an                   
          object image into a one-dimensional strip of the object image.              
          The examiner finds that it would have been obvious to the                   
          artisan to use the teachings of                                             





















                                         -6-
