claim (i.e., are not patentable if the representative claim is
patentable) because the added reference may cure the deficiency
in the rejection of the representative claim.
Claims 1-15 and 31-39
Claims 1, 3-15, and 35-39
There is no question that Philips teaches "[a]n appliance
using a composite video signal having a color burst, the
composite video signal including a luminance signal and a
chrominance signal," as recited in the preamble of claim 1.
There is also no question that Philips teaches "a video decoder
for decoding the luminance signal and the chrominance signal, the
chrominance signal including a color burst, the video decoder
providing a programmable decoded horizontal sync pulse," as
recited in claim 1. The video input processor (VIP) of Philips
is a video decoder (p. 2 under "GENERAL DESCRIPTION") which
provides a programmable decoded horizontal sync pulse HS (p. 7
for symbol "HS"; p. 27, Fig. 19; p. 37, "Horizontal sync start"
and "Horizontal sync stop"; p. 41, Tables 15 & 16). Further,
there is no question that the VIP of Philips has "a controller
for programming the programmable decoded horizontal sync pulse of
the video decoder," as recited in claim 1, because the start and
end of the pulse can be programmed ( id.).
