          Appeal No. 1999-2817                                                        
          Application 08/819,587                                                      

          1 on appeal of “determining if the distance between the                     
          uncompressed current block and the adjacent block is acceptable.”           
               The abstract of Uramoto indicates the circuit of Figure 1 is           
          a version of the motion vector detector that first determines an            
          absolute difference of the compared data between adjacent frames            
          to determine a displacement vector by a summation unit (see                 
          Figure 1) which value is fed to a comparison unit to ultimately             
          detect a motion vector.  It is this comparator 3 in Figure 1                
          which is shown in further detail beginning in Figure 43, the                
          discussion of which begins at the middle of column 26.  The                 
          evaluation value, according to the discussion associated with               
          this figure, leads to the determination of a motion vector and              
          even, optionally, to a decoder.  The discussion between columns             
          26 and 27 indicates that if a newly applied evaluation value is             
          smaller than the value stored in the register latch 130 in Figure           
          43, a latch instruction signal is generated, whereas if the newly           
          applied evaluation value is greater than the value stored in the            
          register latch 130, the comparator 130 does not generate a latch
